Chelsea's draw with Arsenal was filled with refereeing controversies - but should the Blues' opening goal have been disallowed due to another subjective offside in the Premier League?
In the second half, Trevoh Chalobah put 10-man Chelsea into the lead by flicking on Reece James' corner - but did Enzo Fernandez play a major role in the ball going in - from an offside position?
Chelsea's No 8 was ahead of the play when Chalobah flicks the ball on and while Fernandez does not touch the ball, he appears to impact Cristhian Mosquera's ability to clear the ball off the line.
Under the PGMOL rules, a player can be offside if they:
Fernandez's actions bring into question all three of these criteria. Sky Sports News have approached the PGMOL for comment.
While Mosquera's right hand is technically level with Fernandez, the Laws of the Game state "The hands and arms of all players, including the goalkeepers, are not considered" in offsides, as you cannot gain an advantage by using your hands in football.
Instead, offsides are judged on the sleeve line. And Fernandez appears to be ahead of Mosquera's sleeve.
This incident follows a number of subjective offside calls in the Premier League. Virgil van Dijk's goal for Liverpool at Man City was ruled out because Andy Robertson was judged to have affected play from an offside position, without touching the ball.
Then two weeks later, VAR then allowed a Murillo goal for Nottingham Forest AT Liverpool even though Dan Ndoye was stood in an offside position. That goal was allowed as Ndoye was adjudged not to be in the eyeline of Alisson.
So have the officials missed a big call, which could affect this season's title race?

1....Why not asking if Hincapie should have received red card instead of yellow for elbowing Chalobah because that was what Delap did against Wolves and was shown a red card?????? 2....Why not asking if Caicedo's red card should have been nullified because that was exactly the way Bentancur stamped on James against Tottenham and was shown a yellow card?????? 3.....Why not asking if Gyokores should have received a red card for fouling Sanchez after the goalkeeper have already had the ball in his hands and we all know it would have been a red card if it was a Chelsea player??????? Fvck FA board members Fvck EPL board members Fvck PGMOL members Fvck Anthony Tailor Fvck all the VAR officials Fvck England

I was honestly surprised why VAR didn't check it yesterday... I saw it and was hoping it'll be checked but concluded that maybe he was ahead of Mosquera wen Chalobah headed the ball .... bcos he was impacting play with mosquera.... though that's on fa with their inconsistencies.... same thing with 10secs throw in rule last season....
there's no offside from corners kip unless the ball touch another player

since when did the corner become an offside
Davichi

No, players cannot be offside directly from a corner kick. The offside rule does not apply when a player receives the ball directly from a corner kick, goal kick, or throw-in. However, an offside offense can occur if a player in an offside position receives the ball after it has been touched by a teammate or if a teammate who is in an offside position touches the ball and it rebounds to them.
The point there is that Chalobah played the ball so the offside against Enzo came into effect and he impacted the game.

You're wrong. Offside also applies to corner kicks

I'm of the view that The English FA & its Sub Commitees are Not Performing well these days. Why raising a Question about a goal scored and refused to ask a Question about a possible Red Card against an Arsenal player that hit Chalobah's face in an aerial ball contest? The FA should please WAKE UP

corner kicks don't have offsides, don't lie. unless touched by a third party who is in an offside position after it has been kicked.
why the third patty has to be in offside position when it doesn't has offside?

Why was Cacseido rolling down holding his foot as if he was shot yet he is the one who nearly broke someone foot. Too much acting. The ref didnβt get hold of the game because he gave him yellow and let the game continue until someone told him to stop and check and changed the card. After that Chelsea players faking injuries none stop to get arsenal players sent off

where was mosquera and Enzo when the ball was going in?
am not saying it's offside but am letting you know that it's not when the ball is going in the offside occurs it's when the last player touches the ball and the position of the last player as shown in the picture
