Under Manchester United's tight defense, Manchester City's offensive was like a tide, but it was always unsuccessful. Every attack was stubbornly resolved by Manchester United's players. As time passed, Manchester City's players became more and more impatient, their passes began to make mistakes, and their attacks became disorganized. Manchester United's players tightly guarded their defense line, waiting for the whistle of the end of the game. They knew that as long as they held on for a few more minutes, they would win this tough game.
In the seventh minute of injury time, Manchester City launched a desperate last attack. The ball was passed quickly under the feet of Manchester City players, and they tried to tear open Manchester United's defense with the most sharp attack. However, Manchester United's defensive general Harry Maguire was like an insurmountable fortress. When Manchester City's offensive players passed the ball to the front of the penalty area, Harry Maguire keenly judged the landing point of the ball. He jumped high and headed the ball out fiercely with his head.
The ball was cleared to the center circle, and at this time, a red figure rushed over like lightning. It was Erling Haaland. After Erling Haaland got the ball, he launched a crazy counterattack without hesitation. He was full of power and determination in every step. His speed was amazing, like a flash of lightning across the court. Manchester City's players tried to catch up with him, but they could only watch Haaland's back getting farther and farther away.
Erling Haaland relied on his excellent physical fitness and amazing speed to quickly break through Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan, who had little physical strength left, and broke into the vicinity of Manchester City's penalty area.
Manchester City's full-back Kyle Walker and center-back John Stones came from two directions. Erling Haaland was not intimidated by their defense. He calmly observed their positions. Then, he suddenly changed direction and passed a Kyle Walker defender. Then, he used his strong body to squeeze John Stones on the other side. At this time, Manchester City goalkeeper Edson Santana had already attacked, but Erling Haaland was not afraid. He cleverly kicked the ball over Erling Haaland's head.
The ball slowly rolled into the Manchester City goal, and Erling Haaland, who came on as a substitute, scored twice, 5:2! Manchester United completely killed the game.
At this time, the entire Old Trafford Stadium was already boiling. The cheers and shouts of the fans were deafening, as if they were going to overturn the roof of the stadium. Erling Haaland opened his arms excitedly and ran to celebrate his goal. His face was filled with the joy and pride of victory. He used his strength and courage to bring Manchester United a thrilling victory.
At this time, the Manchester City players stood on the court one by one, with frustration in their eyes. Sergio Aguero put his hands on his hips, lowered his head slightly, and his face was full of helplessness. Raheem Sterling bit his lips tightly, his face full of unwillingness. Kevin De Bruyne looked at the celebrating figures of Manchester United players, and his eyes showed deep disappointment.
Finally, in the expectation of everyone, the referee slowly raised the whistle to his lips. A sharp and long whistle sounded, as if announcing the end of this fierce confrontation. The referee blew the final whistle firmly, and the sound echoed over the stadium, marking the end of this thrilling game.

After the Manchester derby, the whole city seemed to be still immersed in the shock and aftermath of the fierce confrontation. This game is like a blazingThe burning fire ignited the enthusiasm of the fans and also focused the attention of the entire football world.
In the first half of the game, Marcus Rashford's wonderful goal was mistakenly blown off by the referee. This penalty was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up thousands of waves. At that moment, the atmosphere at Old Trafford changed from the original enthusiastic cheers to shock and dissatisfaction. Rashford himself was also full of disbelief. He stood there, looking at the referee, his eyes full of confusion and disappointment. Manchester United's players surrounded the referee, trying to explain and appeal, but the referee's decision had already been made and could not be changed.
This misjudgment became the focus of media attention after the game. Major media outlets have criticized the referee's penalty. The front page of the newspaper was occupied by the controversial penalty of this game, and the commentators of the sports channel also discussed the incident fiercely in the program. They believe that the referee's misjudgment seriously affected the direction and result of the game. In such an important Manchester derby, a wrong penalty may change the outcome of the entire game.
Some media outlets used strong words to accuse the referee of insufficient professionalism. They believed that in such a high-profile game, the referee should have made more careful and accurate decisions. Such a misjudgment was not only unfair to Manchester United, but also questioned the fairness of the entire game. Some media outlets even called for punishment of the referee to maintain the fairness and authority of the football game.
However, amid all the criticism, Jose Mourinho showed his generosity and wisdom. Mourinho, the legendary football coach, has always been known for his toughness and decisiveness. But in this incident, he chose to defend the referee. At the press conference after the game, facing questions from many reporters, Mourinho said calmly: "Referees are also human beings, and misjudgments are also part of football. We cannot completely deny the referee because of a misjudgment. In such a high-intensity game, referees are under tremendous pressure. They need to make judgments in an instant, and mistakes are inevitable."
Then, Mourinho changed the subject and mentioned an important topic in today's football world - Video Assistant Referee (VAR). "I think the Premier League should consider introducing video assistant referees. This is not a lack of trust in referees, but to make the game more fair and just. VAR can provide more accurate basis for key penalties and reduce the occurrence of misjudgments. In the development of modern football, the application of technology is an inevitable trend, which can help us better enjoy the excitement of football games."
Mourinho's words caused people to think deeply. He made people realize that football games are not just a contest of victory or defeat, but also a sport full of humanity and emotion. Referees are also human beings, and they will make mistakes. We should look at the work of referees with a more tolerant and understanding attitude, rather than blindly blaming and criticizing. At the same time, the introduction of technology can also improve the fairness of the game to a certain extent, so that football games can be played in a more reasonable environment.
Mourinho's suggestion to call on the Premier League to introduce video assistant referees after the Manchester derby was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, which instantly caused huge waves in the football world. This suggestion was like a strong whirlwind that quickly swept the entire media circle and triggered widespread and heated discussions.
All major media have focused on Mourinho's proposition. The headlines of sports newspapers are firmly occupied by this topic, and reporters have deeply analyzed the reasons and potential impacts behind Mourinho's suggestions. Some media believe that Mourinho's call is an accurate grasp of the development trend of modern football. In today's era of rapid technological development, football matches should not be complacent, but should actively use advanced technical means to improve the fairness and accuracy of the game. The introduction of video assistant referees can provide referees with more objective and accurate basis for key penalties, reduce misjudgments caused by human errors, and make the results of the game more fair and reasonable.
Some media have also questioned the feasibility of introducing video assistant referees. They pointed out that the introduction of VAR may disrupt the rhythm of the game and affect the fluency of the game. Moreover, the use of VAR also requires certain technical support and personnel training, which will increase the operating costs of the league. In addition, there may be controversy over the penalty standards of VAR. How to ensure that VAR's penalties are fair and transparent is also a problem that needs to be solved.
However, no matter how the media's views diverge, Mourinho's suggestions have attracted widespread attention and discussion. People have begun to re-examine the referee system in football matches and think about how to ensure the fairness and transparency of the game.At the same time, some reporters also found the English Football Association and the Premier League. The two Premier League governing bodies expressed that they attached great importance to Mourinho's suggestion. They said they would actively evaluate the feasibility of introducing video assistant referees. Soon after, the English Football Association and the Premier League successively established special evaluation teams to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the technical requirements, cost budget, and penalty standards for the introduction of video assistant referees. The evaluation team invited experts, coaches, players and technical personnel in the football industry to participate in the discussion and widely listened to the opinions and suggestions of all parties. They studied the lessons learned from the introduction of VAR in other leagues in depth, and combined with the actual situation of the Premier League, they developed a detailed evaluation plan.
