I posted earlier that the offside decision was wrong, I must admit that I was wrong,
when the ball was played forward Murphy was in an offside position but no flag, but then he went into his own half and received the ball therefore was flagged offside as you can be offside in your own half under the rules.

Offences and sanctions

If an offside offense occurs, the referee awards an indirect free kick where the offense occurred, including if it is in the player’s own half of the field of play. the offense occurred in our half as that is where murphy touched the ball after being originally offside in their half
