Controversy over a VAR decision in the Manchester derby has continued for several days after officials allowed a winning goal from Erling Haaland to stand, according to a report by BBC Sport.

The report examines the circumstances that led to the decision, which has been described as an error that has continued to draw attention following the match.

BBC Sport's report does not provide further specific details in the portion available, but indicates that the controversy stems from how the video assistant referee system was applied during the review of the goal.
