A controversial equaliser in the Manchester derby sends fans rushing to the rulebook to find the exact definition of offside, as United stuns City to continue a Premier League resurgence.
abc.net.au/news/manchester-derby-bruno-fernandes-marcus-rashford-offside-goal/101856712Football fans have been forced to re-examine a rule they thought they understood after a controversial equaliser put United on the path to a comeback win in the Premier League's Manchester derby.
While Rashford danced around the ball without touching it, the linesperson's flag still went up to call him offside as Bruno Fernandes swooped from the left to score 12 minutes from full-time. Rashford was undeniably involved four minutes later, when he knocked in the game-winner from close range, for his ninth successive goal in matches at Old Trafford.
"The decision is they didn't believe Rashford was intervening in this stadium. This is Old Trafford, we have to play much better, like Anfield, we have to do better."
