Hold on - what about the 5cm rule that appeared last week, or are there different rules in the league cup?

He's definitely beyond the goalkeeper from that angle tbf. It's offside. Good call.
Yes,  I don't know why the offside itself took so long as Haaland was beyond the keeper, so it didn't matter if he was ahead or behind the defender.

What happened to the lines that used to be drawn?

What happened to the unwritten 5cm rule?

Hahaha very true. Never to be seen again.

Commentator's blatantly don't know the goalkeeper rule for offside either. Not sure the fourth official does with how long it took.

You can not be offside from a corner kick, so it is then a question of if he was interfering with play from an offside position. After Samenjo had touched the ball.

Yes they seemed oblivious to even considering where the keeper was.

What a mess the game has got itself onto.

I used to like watching Silva but he's turned into a right dirty ******.

I’ve always thought he was one of the most overrated players in the league.

Silva did the same tackle in the first half - no booking.

Whatever the score ends up being, Newcastle are a bit meat and potatoes

Haaland, who was offside with his foot ahead of the keeper, blocked the defender from getting out to Semanyo or to try to clear it, not the keeper.

Not sure why some people are arguing that is not offside.

They are everything they hated about the other Manchester club twenty years ago.
