Genuinely can't see the fuss with that goal. When he makes contact with the keeper he's not actually 'offside' as such, as the forward header hasn't even been made yet. As soon as Stones makes contact with the ball Silva's dived out the way and the keeper wouldn't even have been thinking about him.
It's either a very very soft foul or goal, surely.

Genuinely would be absolutely gutted if we had a goal ruled out for that. He had gotten out the way by the time the ball was headed.Quote:

Nae doubt Twitter will be awash with Arsenal fans who say the VAR official has a Shaun Goater pic on their phone, or something
The only reason there was any fuss was because the VAR **** it and didn’t just want to make the call himself. Ref shouldn’t have been sent to the screen in the first place.Quote:

Not that the keeper was ever coming to claim the corner but there is a strong case to say Silva blocked him from doing so. At least that's what Wolves will be saying.
someone at the beeb has a sense of humour, will we see a Hun statement

He did block him from coming out but he wasn’t in an offside position at that point in time and nowhere near enough for a foul IMO.Quote:

He doesn't have to move, as long as he's not backing into the keeper, he can stand his ground as he did, when the ball came over he quickly ducked to the side out of the way, a very well executed corner.Quote:

I know defending is part and parcel of football but not as the sole strategy. I've no sympathy when teams which play like Wolves today, lose late goals

I could have saved myself that last post if I'd read this. I agree completely.Quote:

Did edit to say that it wasn’t enough for a foul for me. Not even close. Not every coming together or block is a foul. There would have been multiple blocks going on in the same passage of play no doubt.Quote:
