On September 23 (CEST), the Premier League KMI panel ruled that during the Manchester Derby in the 4th round of the Premier League, Enzo was in an offside position and interfered with the defender and goalkeeper. The VAR intervention that allowed the goal was incorrect, meaning both the on-field decision and the VAR outcome were wrong.

Incident

Erling Haaland was in a legal position, while Enzo was in an offside position (60th minute).

On-Field Decision: Incorrect—Fernández interfered with an opponent (0 votes in favor, 5 votes against).

VAR Intervention Result: Incorrect—A clear and obvious error (0 votes in favor, 5 votes against).

KMI Panel

The panel unanimously agreed that the VAR intervention allowing the goal was incorrect. Enzo was in an offside position and attempted to play the ball when it was very close to him; in doing so, he interfered with the ability of the defender and goalkeeper to play the ball. A VAR review should have been recommended for the missed subjective offside call during the attacking phase of the play.
