Harrington and Nunn determined that Akanji\u2019s presence had no significant impact on Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno.<\/p>\n<h3>Recommended<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2022\/11\/30\/15\/GettyImages-1388382959%20copy.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2022\/12\/01\/03\/GettyImages-1245251240.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Fulham head coach Marco Silva strongly disagreed with the decision to give the goal, and Webb admitted last week that it should not have counted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the outset I think this should have been disallowed. It certainly appears Akanji has an impact on Leno the goalkeeper who seems to hesitate,\u201d Webb told the \u2018Match Officials: Mic\u2019d Up\u2019 programme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe think it\u2019s a clear situation of offside. Unfortunately it wasn\u2019t identified on the day. This was an error.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Silva said after the match on September 2: \u201cEveryone that plays football, everyone that has played football, everyone that has some knowledge about football \u2013 I\u2019m 100 per cent sure \u2013 has to disallow that goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone has to be furious if a goal like that comes against you. For the linesman I believe that it can be difficult but, for the VAR, it is impossible not to disallow that goal. It is a clear offside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nunn will be an assistant referee alongside Harrington at the Hull v Coventry match.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/sport\/football\/var-manuel-akanji-howard-webb-marco-silva-city-b2409791.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sign up to Miguel Delaney\u2019s Reading the Game newsletter sent straight to your inbox for free Sign up to Miguel\u2019s Delaney\u2019s free weekly newsletter Thanks for signing up to the Football email A VAR who made what referees\u2019 chief Howard Webb described as an \u201cerror\u201d in awarding a goal to Manchester City in the last [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":289593,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
