Speaker Sky Sportssaid:
“I only care about the goal. Obviously they have checked it with VAR, but I have looked at it three or four times, I am convinced that it is offside.
“The Southampton player has gone to challenge the goalkeeper, he touches his foot and went ahead and the left foot of Smallbone seems to be in front of the defender. Unless there was another defender outside that we cannot pick up on the TV, but it seems out of my opinion.”
