Erling Haaland's winning goal in Sunday's Manchester derby came in controversial circumstances - and there are still a number of questions left unanswered.
The striker's goal was initially disallowed for offside on the pitch before VAR overturned the decision.
The VAR officials deemed that Haaland was played onside by Manchester United defender Patrick Dorgu. However, Manchester City's Enzo Fernandez was in an offside position as he attempted to play the ball before it reached Haaland.
