How was Lenglet active then? Not sure how that's been given offside..

Beats me too

It was the pass before back down the channel. He was at least a foot off.

GHod knows why it took so long for them to see it.

You can't be offside if you're not active though?

 

[Hotshot-Tottenham]

No, the initial pass to the player that then passed it to Moreno who then scored.

The guy down the left channel.

On the feed I was watching the VAR showed him clearly off, he was a foot deeper than Danjuma who was in the middle.

He was active when the ball was being crossed, not for the shot.
Should've been a free out, either way, Everton player dragged to the ground.

No… the guy that received the pass was off.

He then passed it to the guy that scored.

That makes more sense, ta!

VAR made a massive meal of it.

This was about a minute into the check.

They then spent two more minutes checking the subsequent play for some reason.

Yeah and on the Sky feed they kept on and on about Lenglet's position, when in reality it was irrelevant.. None of them know what they're doing

 

[jrh]

How's grabbing someone's arm like that any better than pulling a shirt? Feels like a more impactful action, madness to me...

 

[paxtonwolf]

Good save but DCL should be doing better

 

[DubSpur]

Should've buried that

 

[markysimmo]

if it takes more than a minute it should bre given to the attacking team

 

[spurspinter1]

Danjuma's not very good, is he?

I was thinking along the same lines but it was an excellent ball through to Calvert Lewin, should be an assist every day of the week.

Haven't watched Danjuma play for Villarreal so it's partly on me but I've never really seen him have a good game. Struggled to get any game time at all at Everton, it must be that both Dyche and Conte are both just big ol' meanies because Danjuma was made out to be a world beater by some during his time here!

Two problems with that: one, they had the right decision in under a minute (or thereabouts) but for some reason went on to check other things.

Two, putting an artificial time limit will lead to incorrect decisions and face accusations of being wide open to corruption.

 

[DubSpur]

Good result for us.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Well I suppose Villa didnt win so at worst we will only be 4pts of 4th place when league returns on Jan 31st

And, if there is ever a default fall back position it should not change the score line.

 

[Kandi1977]

The only thing I'm certain of, is that yanaited will get at least one penalty today.
