In the 16th minute, Manchester City conceded the goal. In the 24th minute, Manchester City had a chance to counterattack. Haaland rushed forward and got a one-on-one chance. Crystal Palace goalkeeper Henderson abandoned the goal and broke the ball with his hand before Haaland. Haaland immediately complained that Henderson was handballed.

Slow motion shows that Henderson's arm was indeed outside the penalty area when he touched the ball. Considering that Haaland has already made a one-on-one shot, Henderson has used a handball to destroy the opponent's excellent opportunity, which is supposed to be a red card. However, referee Atwell did not agree with the complaints of Manchester City players.

After watching VAR, Atville was still unwilling to change the judgment and let both sides continue the competition. Later, the Premier League official explained Atwell's decision: "When Henderson destroyed the offense, the ball went to the wing and stayed away from the goal." Fans generally did not buy it.

If Henderson is sent off, Manchester City, who beat one more player, will likely turn the tables. After the game, Manchester City fans angrily called Atwell a scumbag and accused him of always deliberately suppressing Manchester City. It turned out that Atwell had also cheated Manchester City once in the previous Manchester City derby.

In that game, Manchester United fought back, and Rashford used his body to block Manchester City players in a clear offside situation and escorted the ball, causing Manchester City players to be unable to intercept the ball. In the end, Manchester United player B Fee followed up and scored the ball. The referee at that time was also Atville, and his goal from Manchester United was valid.
