VAR controversy decides Manchester derby as City keep pace with Arsenal: Football Weekly – podcast

On the podcast today: Max Rushden is joined by Barry Glendenning, Barney Ronay, and John Brewin to round up the weekend’s Premier League action.

Manchester City beat Manchester United at Old Trafford with a controversial Erling Haaland goal. Has the job of referees become too difficult for regular folk, and do we need Nasa scientists or data wonks instead at Pro Ref?

Elsewhere, Arsenal beat Sunderland in spite of a debatable decision of their own, there are more goals at both ends at Stamford Bridge, absolutely no goals in sight for Spurs, and another goal of the season contender from an unlikely source.

Plus, there’s trouble at Aston Villa, another draw for Bournemouth and a discussion about the lost art of grappling.
