Angle makes him look offside, and using that angle I thought he was offside when I first saw it. VAR makes the case that it was absolutely tight, but he was onside AT THE TIME THE FREEZE FRAME IS TAKEN.
For me, this is often the key...when they freeze frame. It has been proven that players on the run can move quicker than VAR can keep up with, esp when they have to pick a specific frame upon which to base their “lines.”
Believe me, I’m more concerned about the bent VAR ref on the City vs DZ game! At least FOUR good penalty calls, of which I’d call THREE penalties in most games!!
