“It’s the worst decision I’ve ever seen.”
Manchester City players as well as fans can’t stand their anger. Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes scored an equalizer in the 33rd minute of the second half in the ‘Manchester Derby’. Prior to Fernandes’ goal, United team-mate Marcus Rashford was in an obvious offside position, as Fernandes’ goal was ruled an ‘onside goal’. This became an excuse, and as Man City ended up losing 1-2, the fans’ anger is growing.
Manchester City and Manchester United played the’Manchester Derby’ in the 20th round of the EPL in the’2022-2023 season’ held at Old Trafford in Manchester, England on the 14th (Korean time). Manchester City took the lead through Jack Grealish’s goal, but United’s Fernandez’s equalizer in the second half followed by Rashford’s come-from-behind goal gave United a 2-1 victory. Man City, who was trying to catch up with Arsenal, the league leader, was caught by Man Utd and the atmosphere subsided.
However, there was a big issue after the game about the onside decision for Fernandez’s equalizer. British local media are also pointing out this ruling. Here’s the situation. In the 33rd minute of the second half, Casemiro put the ball forward. Rashford runs in, but is in an offside position. Rashford stopped, but Fernandez, who ran after him, tried a right-footed shot and shook the net. 온라인카지노
The assistant referee saw Rashford’s position and raised the flag for offside. However, after a while, the goal was recognized through VAR. Rashford, who was in an offside position, did not touch the goal, and Fernandez scored the goal. As Rashford was not involved in the goal play, Fernandez’s goal was counted as onside. Despite strong protests from Manchester City players, the decision was not overturned, and eventually Manchester United won. This is why Manchester City fans exploded.
British media Daily Star said, ‘Man City fans are angry that Fernandez’s goal recognition is the worst decision ever.’ “I can’t admit it wasn’t offside,” said one fan. Another fan was angry, saying, “This is the worst decision I’ve ever seen in a football match.” Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola also commented after the game that the decision was wrong, saying, “Rashford was clearly offside. Fernandes was not in an offside position, but Rashford was involved in the goal between the goalkeeper and the defender. This is a fact.”
