Jesus ‘goal’ ruled offside

CITY think they have gone 3-0 up courtesy of a trademark goal of slick passing and off-the-ball runs.

Raheem Sterling believes he has timed his run perfectly to collect David Silva’s inch-perfect ball before the England man squares for Gabriel Jesus to find the net.

Because it’s a goal, it’s automatically checked and VAR determines that Sterling, when Silva plays him through, is offisde — by the tiniest of margins.

CHRIS FOY’S VERDICT

IT comes down to where the lines showing offside are drawn. The line was drawn from Raheem Sterling’s shoulder is because that is the part of the body you can score with which is the furthest forward. Yes, it looks tight, but it’s the right decision.
