EXPERT VIEW Chris Foy

I CAN understand Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s frustration but the decision to award Villa’s goal was absolutely the correct one.

When Kortney Hause rises to head in from the corner, Ollie Watkins is in an offside position — but as we know, being in an offside position is not necessarily an offence.

VAR Andy Madley will have checked the goal and he will have asked: ‘Does Watkins obstruct David de Gea and does his position impact on the ability of De Gea to save it?’ And he’s decided no.

I’m quite comfortable with it. Solskjaer cited the Leicester efforts ruled out at Brighton last week for offside, questioning the difference.

They weren’t the same — and you can understand why both were disallowed.
