It is easy to look at it in a slow frame by frame and from different angles with cameras in different positions, but ...... The Ref and linesman had one look at one angle and the players running back were practically in the middle near the penalty spot, the goaly is in the middle of the goals, Mata over to the left of the area and he dinked the ball into the left hand corner of the net. It is likely that either the Ref didn't think they were blocking the goalies eye sight due to the route the ball took, or the linesman didn't flag them as being offside and just made a mistake, human error. Just why this had to be re-visited I don't know, it might happen again and the same decision might be made, or not.

Pure, what has an error from the linesman got to do with this? The conversation is sparked by the law being a grey area. |

Were they interfering/blocking his view at the moment the ball was struck? Not sure.
They certainly were a second or two earlier but where you're standing when the ball isn't in play is irrelevant. Which makes the PL's reference to number 21 looking at the keeper pretty peculiar |
