What happened. Lisandro Martinez called it an injustice after Erling Haaland's opener was initially flagged offside before a lengthy VAR review ruled the Manchester City striker onside and awarded the goal.
- The assistant's flag was overruled by the video assistant referee.
- VAR judged Enzo Fernandez had not played the ball despite being offside.
- Josko Gvardiol's deflected shot reached Haaland at the back post.
The decision proved decisive in the derby and left Martinez publicly questioning the call.
