Man Utd 2:1 Man City: VAR Should Have Disallowed Fernandes’ Goal – Owen

The Video Assistant Referee (VAR), according to former England striker Michael Owen, should have disallowed Bruno Fernandes’ goal against Manchester City on Saturday.

Recall that Rashford, who was in an offside position, made a sprint for the ball before slowing down, and the Portuguese international stroked the ball past Ederson.

Jack Grealish’s header had given City a 1-0 lead at that stage in the match.

Marcus Rashford scored the winning goal on Alejandro Garnacho’s low pass just moments after Fernandes‘ goal was upheld.

Regarding the goal, Owen commented on Premier League Productions: “I think he did make a movement towards the ball.

If Rashford were not involved, Ederson and the two players pursuing him might arrive before Bruno, in my opinion.

Therefore, by being offside, he has undoubtedly directly influenced that goal.

The original version of this piece, “Fernandes Goal Should Have Been Disallowed By VAR,” was published by Complete Sports.

Recall that Chelsea’s performances are being adversely affected by the absence of several of its players. The Blues lost their most recent game, 2-1, against Fulham, and they are presently ranked 10th in the Premier League.

In the 58th minute of the game, their recent acquisition Joao Felix was also dismissed. Prior to being sent for a careless foul, Felix performed exceptionally well in the first half.
