“He must have been watching a different game to me”.

Thanks for the write up Paul, quality as usual. From where I was in Canton (and if my memory serves me correctly), the Newcastle player touched the ball. Zahore seemed to step over him and scoop the ball over him while he was down and then the linos flag went up. He may have been offside before the Newcastle player slid in a challenge, but the Linos flag stayed down.

Thanks Spedger, I can understand the linesman not raising his flag until Zohore had the ball because that was when he made a move to come into play after having been in an offside position, but, surely, the Newcastle player touching the ball must mean Zohore was then onside, even though he hadn't been a few seconds earlier? To you, me and plenty of people sat around by me it looked as if Zohore had been played onside and the lino had cocked it up - the only reason I can come up with as to why the flag went up is that it was thought that the Newcastle player had not touched the ball.
