Video assistant on the board in England

In a first for English soccer, a goal was awarded thanks to the intervention of a video assistant referee as Leicester advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup on Tuesday. Kelechi Iheanacho’s tally was ruled offside in the 77th minute, but the goal was awarded about 70 seconds later after a review by the video assistant. Leicester went on to beat thirdtier Fleetwood 2-0. The video assistant is being tested in the FA Cup and League Cup this season, but not the Premier League.
