It's before Soucek shoots, Antonio is already offside when it last comes off him.

He can't be offside until Soucek shoots, as the last touch prior to that was off Kovacic. Hence why they were using the lines at the point Soucek kicked the ball.

 

[Tony Towner]

So essentially if you try an overhead kick like everyone on here would have done on the school field you are now offside

To be fair it is actually dark blue! Just seen a close up.

Well spotted Mark.

Either way it still makes it look crap.

That Pool 'O Sick looks good.

Remove the sound, soak in the detail!

I’ve had to rewind it to see. This is where Soucek kicks it and yes it does it Antonio. His head is probably just offside.

However this isn’t the image they used to make the decision! They make the decision form when Soucek shoots!

 

[Jinky]

Knew we couldn’t rely on West Ham to hold out.

Cock

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Quality freekick.

 

[Jack Regan]

Excellent free-kick by Willian.

Suspect positioning from Fabianksi?

 

[AndyWolves]

Fabianski went the wrong way before correcting himself. If he doesn't do that he saves it for me

 

[SSB]

Chelsea will go on to win this now.

Official reason is Antonio is in an offside position and blocking the keepers view. Touching the ball not an issue.

 

[Jack Regan]

Which is nonsense because if anyone blocks his view it's Azpilicueta trying to block the shot.

Weird, comms here said the opposite.

That’s just bollocks.

Exactly. So stand by my position that the decision is a joke.

 

[The Bear]

He's lying on the ground in front of the ball (form the keepers perspective). Seems fairly obvious to me.
