The move comes after Pro Ref admitted to an "error of judgement" in awarding Erling Haaland's winning goal for Manchester City at Manchester United on Sunday. The goal was initially disallowed on the field for offside but, following VAR intervention, the goal was awarded as the Norwegian was ruled to have been played onside by Patrick Dorgu's boot.
Pro Ref stated that "it was established that Enzo Fernandez did not play the ball and therefore that makes any offside offence subjective." However, they also acknowledged that the VAR did not recognise the likely impact of his position and should have recommended an on-field review.
The decision to leave Donohue and Antrobus out of Premier League action this weekend has sparked debate among fans and pundits, with many questioning the refereeing decisions made during the Manchester derby.
