## Resource

VAR official Matt Donohue is getting a timeout after missing a clear offside call on Erling Haaland’s goal, leading to his suspension from all Premier League games this weekend — including Manchester United fixtures. This isn’t his first rodeo: he previously sent off Harry Maguire for alleged abuse, sparking controversy, and earlier this year allowed a disputed offside goal in a Sheffield United vs. Sunderland match. Erik ten Hag is furious over the Haaland decision, calling it baffling, while the debate over VAR’s role in such calls continues to heat up.
