Yeah OGS was talking absolute bolx. I watched it several times over from different angles, and De Gea is clearly preoccupied with Watkins, De Gea pushes Watkins resulting him in bending over slightly with arms out (not holding, pushing or backing in to De Gea), and there is clear line of sight to the ball at all times. Alan Shearer was as bad on MOTD with his dismissive language stating that his line of sight must have been blocked as he was standing in front of him…look at the actual footage! (although he did say the goal should stand and wasn’t offside/interfering with play).
This is a good one of Korts winner.Also shows how much b***ocks OGS was talking. I froze it when Hause connected with the header and Ollie is nowhere near De Gea who has a perfect view of the ball.
I saw a video earlier of ex ref Dermot Gallagher explaining why the goal was legitimate. An interesting point he made was that by pushing Watkins away De Gea ruled out any chance of him being deemed to be interfering / obstructing. Gallagher possibly just going with the ref’s on field decision but the logic seemed fair.

My god, the away support was deafening!
