Fans think Everton's opening goal against Arsenal should have been disallowed.

Phil Jagielka gave Everton an early lead after poking in from short distance following Dominic Calvert-Lewin's header ricocheting off Sead Kolasinac.

But fans reckon the goal should not have counted.

Why? Well, because of Lucas Digne's foot. His foot was over the line when taking the throw-in.

Match referee Kevin Friend wasn't even looking at Digne with the linesman on the other side.

Jagielka's 10th minute strike sent social media into overdrive. Here's some reaction from Twitter:

However, per FA rules, Digne's throw-in was actually legal.
