VAR Upholds Aston Villa Equaliser After Ruling Offside Onana Did Not Interfere

The call stands despite Manchester United protests over replays deemed inconclusive.

Overview

  • The Premier League Match Centre stated Onana was offside but neither blocked goalkeeper Senne Lammens’ view nor touched the ball.
  • VAR at Stockley Park reviewed the sequence and confirmed the on-field decision after checks for a deflection or obstruction.
  • Gary Neville suggested on Sky Sports that Onana might have indicated a touch while also saying the footage did not prove contact.
  • Supporters posting on X argued Onana impeded the keeper or glanced the shot, reflecting ongoing dispute over the interpretation.
  • Manchester United won 3-1 at Old Trafford, regaining the lead shortly after Barkley’s strike and adding a late third.
