Extremely strange caution for Mendy at the start of the second half to add to the poor first half, but improved from then on.

Whilst the second goal looked, and was given offside on field. I have sympathy with both the onfield team and the VAR team here. They can only do as has been asked and draw lines based on their own judgement.

But that goal simply must be ruled out, there is absolutely no evidence to overturn the original decision made by the AR. It is impossible from a freeze frame at that angle to determine the exact point the ball was kicked, the exact most forward point of Rashford and the exact most rear point of the Leicester defenders. In cases like that, the decision must remain with the original decision, otherwise there is simply no point in having assistant referees, we may as well just use VAR for all offsides.

Would love to hear some views on this, in my opinion there must be clear evidence of an error by the AR to overturn it, that was not the case today.
