Carrick was furious after the match, which Manchester United lost 0-1. He stated that the decision to approve the goal was a "terrible decision". The goal was scored by Erling Haaland, who was onside when he scored, despite Enzo Fernandez being offside and Lisandro Martinez and Senne Lammens being distracted. Carrick also expressed his frustration that the initially disallowed goal was later overturned by the VAR. "There are various measures in place to help referees, and yet they come up with a decision like this," he said. Martinez also expressed his confusion over the goal, stating that referees often spend an hour explaining the rules to the team, but still make mistakes in the Premier League.
