He interfered with play. Goalkeeper would have just come and cleared it but hesitated and prepared himself to make a save as he thought Rashford was going to shoot. Instead Rashford delayed and let Fernandes come in and shoot instead. Emerson was left in no man’s land.
Sucky posts a lot about Everton. But his side were not plying Southampton.
The rule may be an ass but that's not our fault. City's defenders have come out publicly and said they played Rashford offside and knew he was offside. Yet they all chose to martial him instead of looking at the bloke who was onside, leaving him free to do what he wanted. It was poor defending nothing more, nothing less.
Fck 'em
What would you do if the Headhunters did the same to your boys outside SB Bobby?
Can't be far off surely.
Morning mate.
You are right but this situation is exactly why that rule was brought in. However in this case, if the linesman had flagged Ederson would have known he could go sliding out there and clear the ball because there is nothing Rashford could then do to influence the situation, and he would definitely have got there before Fernandes. You can see from photo that Ederson has stopped to try and save what he thinks is going to be a shot by Rashford. If he knows Rashford cannot play the ball he would have known not to stop and could then comfortably clear.
