Lescott was just offside, but Silva was actually onside. On the paused camera, you can clearly see Luiz's right boot that is playing him on.
That's a great spot 6one and it helps that he's wearing bright orange boots. I've copied a blown up image into word and drawn a line parallel with the penalty line but a) the penalty line is not sharp enough to get a good enough edge and b) the area around Silva's knee and Luiz's boot is too pixelated.
So much so that I can definitely say the point of Silva's shoulder is onside (which I thought was off before 6one's spot) and it's between Luiz's boot and Silva's knee. It's so close that you have to say it's level or benefit of doubt to attacking side and therefore completely legitimate.
So, anyone with a 3-0 losing bet should be rightly pissed off. To the rest of us we've got the satisfaction that we beat Chelsea well and learned from the previous game.
