A offside goal that…that a offside
Man utd always get aways with offside goals
ten hag never said it wasnt a good goal nice try
U can always count on this guys to cry about united 😂
It was a dummy, defence was caught out ggmu
🤣🤣🤣 we don't care. 3 points
Why don't they ask the ref why he allowed the goal & not ruled offside. He is the only one who can give an explanation.
I'm certain he is well aware off the critism surrounding his decision making.
Rashford was in offside position but obviously that's not the main argue.
If he had impeded play & the defenders knew he was offside & therefore not bothering to defend why are they moaning he interfered.
They realised Bruno was backing up so obviously that's their excuse when he scored.
Imagine if Rashford did that from a slightly onside position & did that in believing he may have been offside but left it to Bruno would it still be interference.
Coz I think that is exactly what he was thinking.
By this logic I can camp in my opponents box and then when there is a counter attack, protect the ball until my teammates get into good positions to scored before I stop protecting it
WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY IN PARIS?? OR YOU HAVE FORGOT YOUR GOAT PLAYED YESTERDAY???😂😂😂😂
ESPN FC cast Bitter boi 😂 dey literally hate to see United winning, 😂 Shaka Suck salt, Burley in the mud with Chelsea 😂
The referees interpretation was to give the goal. Facts are, the rule… Then the interpretation is Rashford did not actively block anyone, the city defenders were also kinda beat.
The problem here is feelings more than logic. No one would accept that kinda goal because you FEEL like …..
I don't know, I'm also not a professional top league referee and neither are 99% of people weighing in here
The ref decision is final var is final get over it
If Fifa 23 calls it offside then it is
Offsite/Goal or not, let’s not forget Man City only had 1 shot on target the entire match. United could and should have scored at least twice in the first half. Craig is the most bias pundit I’ve seen in football. He’s a joke.
The ref did the right thing and everyone knows if things had been reversed and City had been given the goal , we wouldn’t have heard a thing … laughable 😀
Pundits should start crying coz united flyin??
It's not really surprising that United get favourable decisions lol, they have been getting them for 30 years
It was not offside, it was a clear goal how many times Man City had decisions going their way when they were in offside clearly, Man United is back suckers.
Defenders gave up on the play, it’s on them that they got mentally played
All the pundits are interested is making the title race interesting u have 4 officials and they can't get a straight forward offside right. Match fixing and spot betting going on please investigate
What a game this was! A roller coaster of emotions!
Cry Tears Y’all
Samchez scored a goal like that when his opponent was offside and he moved out the way and left it for Sanchez.. .
Stick to MlS and leave the Epl alone.
Next time you’ll clear the ball first and complain that it’s offside later. They are basically saying why didn’t Rashford just touch the ball since he’s already there
Whenever United wins, ESPN FC guys call in sick.
CRY MORE MUDAFUCKA..!!!!
ESPN always an enemy of Manutd. Nothing else.
And how about Fulham being denied a retake penalty for mitrovitch's slip?
I can’t believe there are actually people in these comments that think the goal should stand. They must all be United fans
Arsenal scored the same way when Sanchez was still there l think the match was against Chelsea, so if that goal stood why should this one not when the same was awarded as a goal
Correct decision
Shaka is as world-class of a pundit and he is of a player
Such a massive amount of excuses being made for city here. It's pathetic. According to the rule, it stands. And why would city nit play to the whistle? City lost because they were dogshit and had literally 1 attempt on target in 90 minutes🤫🗑
Sooooo they r still crying 🤌🏼
You can't give excuses that akanji stopped because of rashford. The attacker has to continue attack and try scoring and then it will be ruled off side
Since VAR times it's been clear , the defender has to continue defending untill the side ref gives decision the other way.
Rashford did move towards the ball, he doesn't touch…..but none of tht is an excuse to stop defending and not track Fernandez.
If they wouldn't have stopped , it would have been difficult to score, so I feel its a right decision.
Varchester United. The goal was absolute rubbish. The biggest sport in the world shouldn't be having these controversial moments.
Man city always gets these kind of calls in their favor it's nice to see one go against them for once.
Akanji could have ran into Rashford therefore making Rashford part of/affecting the play. But the way the rules are now it’s a goal
clattenburg saying it was the right decision confirms it was the wrong decision
Ten Hag is a brilliant coach a proper tactical genius he'll definitely win trophies at United. 🏆
ESPN fc the greatest comedy football show on earth 🌎 just trying to get clicks on social media almost 36hours after the game 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is football, there are games like this that goes in favour of a particular team, man city has had its lucky Games in the past as well so let's not just fold hands an act as though man u hasn't been rigged before. ESPN pundits has always hated man u, it's just to their faces that man u is winning and they just can't accept the reality
this WAS interpretation, Shaka. that was the refs job and why VAR can't rule on it. Not "literally" every pundit has agreed on this, Jules either, and most refs don't think the call is wrong. Noone can say what would have happened if Rashford stayed 5 yards back and watching the ball go to Bruno. It probably influenced the City defenders and keepers..but not in a way we can say the outcome would definitely have been different. No clear obstruction, no clear defensive cover for that ball, no clear wrong footing of the keeper…whereas Bruno had the whole goal to aim for. On balance giving offside would have been safest decision, but we all like to see good attacking football 😉
As a united fan you guys need to stop letting the media twist your mind. If city scored this way they would be laughing at us and saying its a clever goal. Don’t bother with them
Im dying at this video they are so pained 😂😂😂😂😊
