Liverpool supporters were furious after Manchester United defeated Manchester City in a comeback, dealing a significant blow to their chances of finishing in the top four.
In the second half, Jack Grealish gave City the lead before United controversially equalized. The goal was to find Marcus Rashford with the ball, which was then sent forward. The 25-year-old appeared to be aware that the United forward was offside as he let the ball pass through for Bruno Fernandes to finish neatly.
Rashford’s proximity to the ball throughout the buildup prompted accusations that he might be interfering with the game, but after the linesman raised his flag initially, referee Stuart Attwell decided to give the goal. previous Premier League
Former Premier League referee Peter Walton confirmed that the goal should have stood on the BT Sport coverage but Liverpool fans weren’t so sure.
With Rashford having continued his run, he appeared to be interfering with play but did not directly impede any City players nor did he touch the ball and both former United players Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand agreed with the decision in the BT Sport studio.
