MOTD2 showed how long it took for the flag to go up. It was about 25 seconds after the goal had gone in.

MOTD 2 analysis: Theo Walcott on Manchester City winner against Wolves

Watch Match of the Day 2 pundits Danny Murphy, Rafa Benitez and Theo Walcott question whether the Wolves players should have protested more quickly against John Stones' contested late winner for Manchester City.

I just don't understand why after 25 seconds the liner thinks i'll put my flag up. It's like he was told to put it up by someone else.

He was. The referee.

I did t realise until just watching g the MOTD clip that the linesman kept his flag down for 25 seconds, the Wolves manager only reacts when the flag goes up, wtf is all that about.

It’s only after O’Neil tells the 4th official that it’s offside. He then speaks whilst holding his earpiece and then the flag goes up.

We’d have to hear the audio to be sure though.

O’Neil was screaming on the touchline for VAR to look at the goal. He was doing the TV box hand signal. Jumping around like a right nob head.

It’s hilarious that it was VAR that eventually over turned the on pitch decision to give the goal.

You see where you're going wrong there, don't you?

Should be a shoo- in for next month’s “Mic’d Up” programme I’d imagine.

What a fuss over nothing, just because it's City.

Watched after hearing all the chat about it being 'controversial' and wondered whether it was the same goal they were talking about.

Stones wins the header cleanly and any 'interference' from Bernardo at 5'4" does not even register when you compare it with the 2 big Arsenal players actively blocking Ederson, which was of course reported as being 'streetwise' and 'clever tactics' and Ederson 'needing to be stronger''.

Bernardo may have slightly distracted the keeper, but not like Ben White literally pinching the keeper while a corner is coming in. Oh, that was streetwise and clever again.

And he was nowhere near blocking the keepers view of the header. They are really clutching at straws aren't they?

And the biggest moaners are...the Arse fans.

Arses by name and by nature.
