What was all that about? I'm not watching that game but read comments about Leno pushing a ball boy so the lad had to be moved away from his goal

The ball boy was walking towards him with the ball instead of throwing it & Leno took the ball off him & gave him a wee push

Some nice build up play and what a finish. Gonna be a long night for Burnley.

They may as well change their right back now, because Gakpo has him on toast.

Not sure there’s much of a foul there.

Should never had been a foul. Even the Burnley player had his head in his hands knowing he made an arse of it!

That was very soft.

[Savage Henry]

I think that’s offside.  But he was also pushed offside.  I have no idea.  

[The Naitch]

Can’t believe VAR didn’t notice the push. Goal should have stood.

[Wee-Bey]

The big German will be fuming.

That rule is the worst in football. Unless you're doing star jumps in front of the keeper being offside for being "in the line of sight of the keeper" is a rotten law

Would it not have to have been a penalty?  As I say, I have no clue.

Pretty clear one for covering the keepers view.

Is the push enough for a penalty? I don’t think so.   There’s no decision that can be made to just give the goal.  It’s offside or penalty.

If Salah goes down it’s a stonewall penalty.  
 

Edit: like that Burnley guy right there.

But the law is that it's only offside if it 'prevents the player from being able to play the ball' by being in his line of vision. Trafford was already moving the other way before the ball was struck, and given how close in it was and the pace of the shot there is no chance he was getting near it. Does that therefore meet the above criteria?

Geniune question by the way. I don't know how much they have to take account of whether the goalkeeper has any realistic chance of saving it (which is clearly subjective anyway).

I was waiting for this story to come out after watching the last 10 mins of the Sheffield United v Luton game. It was clear that something had been said to Morris.
