Oh my GHod.. I can't quite believe it, but perhaps I'm wrong? Is this the beginning of the end for the scum and Leicester? Beaten by two bang average sides, the slide will ensue.
Possibly. Especially with Prince Harry in great form for City and Kompany fit again.
brick. Watching MoTD on delay - didn't see Kompany go back off. Shame.

Shouldn't Costa have been sent off for that late challenge?

edit: no I don't, it really was offside
I thought you were riffing on the Vertonghen disallowed goal from last season

Erik Thorstvedt
He got one for Walcott's goal against Emirates Marketing Project, flawed stat IMO.
Watching MoTD, I think they were just late on the call rather than wrong.
At the very end of the clip, you can see the ref making the offside gesture.

Edgar Davids
I think he blew for another offside later in the move, after Benteke's 'shot'.
It can't have been for the initial offside, as the flag has to go as soon as Bentekek is active, which was immediately.
They naffed it up.
In that case they naffed it up twice, because the ball from Benteke comes off the keeper.

Quite possibly.
My thinking is that the first flag should have gone up when they're 45 yards out, not 8.
Either way, there were FOUR of them off. Terrible decision, conversely reminiscent of the bad call that Vertonghen got when he scored on that breakaway.
Strange that MOTD glossed over with a glib comment. It could have been a huge moment if it were nil nil at the time and Bentekek had scored it.

Keeper? No Leiva was 2 meters in front of Benteke when he took the "shot", and that was what the lino flagged for. Schmichchchchchcel was nowhere near at that time. Benteke was at least 5-6 meters offside when he first recieved the ball, as there was only 1 Leicester player between him and the goal line. Massive blunder by the refs on the initial incident, the 2nd one with Leiva was correct. Yes, it cam off the Leicester defender, but Leiva was in an offside position when Benteke took the shot, and Leiva gained an advantage of being in an offside position, and was rightfully flagged for offside.
Sorry that's right - it was the defender, not the keeper.
Unless the rules have changed significantly, it shouldn't matter if he gains an advantage from being offside, if the defender's touch is deliberate (and it was) then it can't be offside.

No, you are wrong about that. The defender didn't pass the ball. It was a block/deflection, not an intentional act, thus it's offside.

I thought that the defender has to be deemed in control of the ball in order to play opponents onside?
As the Leicester player merely stuck a leg out to block Benteke' shot.
