The head of the refereeing organization Professional Game Referees (Pro Ref), Howard Webb, announced the decision to suspend VAR referees who made an error in the English Championship match between Manchester City and Manchester United until the end of the international break.

On Sunday, Manchester City beat Manchester United 1-0 away. Erling Haaland scored in the 60th minute. It was initially flagged for offside, but after a VAR check the goal was disallowed because the Norwegian was in the correct position. At the same time, his partner Enzo Fernandez was offside. Pro Ref recognized the decision of the video assistants as erroneous and promised to further review the episode.

"I was really disappointed with this outcome. We are all disappointed. Most of all - the referees. For them, their work is a matter of personal pride, and now they feel the pain of not coping with this situation. They will not officiate matches until the end of the international break," Webb was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
