Fans all spot the same thing as new angle of Alejandro Garnacho offside call emerges

A new angle has emerged.

A new angle of the offside decision that ruled out Alejandro Garnacho's goal for Manchester United against Arsenal has emerged - and fans are all saying the same thing about the build-up.

Garnacho thought he had put his side 2-1 ahead at the Emirates Stadium on 88 minutes after running through on goal and slotting the ball into the bottom right corner.

His finish sparked wild scenes of celebration among the away supporters, who thought they had gone a long way to clinching a huge victory over their rivals in north London.

But joy quickly turned to despair as VAR checked the goal, before instructing referee Anthony Taylor to rule it out on-field.

United then conceded in the sixth minute of added time, Declan Rice firing the ball into the bottom corner via a deflection.

And Gabriel Jesus completed the scoring, successfully breaking the offside trap before cutting in past Diogo Dalot and finding the bottom corner to secure a 3-1 win for his side.

Despite manager Erik ten Hag's protestations over the decision after full time, a video breakdown posted by an Arsenal supporter - which you can see above - has shown the offside call was the correct one.

Now, a new angle has emerged which makes the decision even clearer - but fans have spotted one particular moment in the build-up.

The angle focuses specifically on the movement of Arsenal defender Gabriel, who was preparing to track Garnacho before checking back in order to create an offside trap.


And the Brazilian has received plenty of praise from Gunners fans for just how quickly he reacted to the situation - with some even claiming that his decision led to Arsenal winning the game.

One fan wrote: "This is world class. It has won his team three points. Unreal defending."

Another added: "This is experience and football IQ at its best. Gabriel, one of the most under-appreciated players."

A third said: "As long as he's available, he should be starting. None of this experiment nonsense."

And a fourth claimed: "The genius in this would be appreciated in a few years. He knows Garnacho is faster, and if that ball gets to him, it's over. What does he do? Gambles the offside trap."

Even some United supporters were impressed, with one posting: "This is as valuable as a goal, wow."

Other fans, meanwhile, were left in no doubt by the new angle that Garnacho was indeed offside, with the decision - and Arsenal's two late goals - meaning United have now failed to win two of their opening four Premier League games this season.
