Former Chelsea and Blackburn Rovers striker Chris Sutton agreed with Guardiola and Silva and mentioned Kavanagh’s verdict regarded like a “sheer guess”.
“I feel the sport has gone,” added Sutton. “Is Thiaw actually going to cease that? The gap from Semenyo is a yard, a yard and a half. Thiaw is just not going to react to that.”
Ex-Liverpool and England midfielder Jamie Redknapp and Newcastle defender Dan Burn mentioned it was the right name to rule out Semenyo’s effort, although each criticised the method.
“If that they had given the objective there would not be one individual that checked out this and thought it should not have been allowed,” mentioned Redknapp.
“However by the letter of the legislation, whether or not we prefer it or not, it’s the proper determination.”
In the meantime, Burn, who missed the sport by way of damage, added: “I do suppose it’s the proper determination, I simply do not just like the subjective offside. It is both offside, or it isn’t.
“We do not wish to see that, however by the letter of the legislation it needs to be disallowed.”
Former Manchester Metropolis defender Micah Richards mentioned: “I perceive the method however VAR wasn’t introduced in for that reason right here.
“That is anti-goal which they mentioned they weren’t going to do, they mentioned they weren’t going to re-referee the sport.
“This for me is re-refereeing the sport. They’re each going at it. It could be proper, however I do not suppose we needs to be taking away objectives for this. Why take 5 minutes?”
