Bit of a Mrs Merton style debate on Twatter about whether Fernando's goal counts as "from a corner".

Given what has been served up for the previous 100 or so corners; yes, yes it does count

It's not direct from the corner though, doesn't count
Berahino's miss didn't come direct from the corner but most certainly would have been classed as a set piece goal had he scored it.

It's debatable; when does a corner stop being a corner and reverts to "open play"? For me, it would have to be direct from the corner taker to the scorer's head/foot/arse/whatever and then in; no touch from any other player. So; for me, it would have to be a no.

yes Jim, I think you have nailed it there
 
I'm counting it, the ball even managed to go over their first defender!

IT IS AN OMEN, WE ARE BLESSED!!!
 
People actually think it counts as a goal from a corner? Jesus fucking Christ! The wait goes on for the sensible ones amongst us
 
G?oal was scored after the corner was taken and cleared so does it count, personallly I think not and the wait goes on for me, but all reports are calling it a goal from a corner

That's because it was a goal from a corner!

The third sort of came indirectly from a corner too....that one is pushing it a bit though.
I class Silvas goal as being from a corner. It was superb interplay between Clichy and Jovetic from a corner. No Baggie touched it.
 
No way was it a goal from a corner.

Count it if you want, but based on the corners that took place after Fernando's goal and before, it'll be a long fucking time till you see another one.
 
Doesn't "direct from a corner" mean nobody else touches the ball except the scorer?. A-la Vinnie against the scum back in 2012?
 
We now employ the existential corner, because it isn't one.

This seems to involve passing it back up the line to someone in a worse crossing position. Genius.
 
at least this was the goal from a corner/no corner debate is more clear cut than is it a muffiin/barm question as it was clearly not from thee corner directly
