Richarlison Equaliser Ruled Out For Offside Against Arsenal By Millimeters

Everton fans were left irate after Richarlison's equaliser against Arsenal was ruled out for offside, by the barest of all margins.

They nearly took the lead in the first half when Richarlison headed home from a free kick, with just minutes of the opening period left.

VAR soon ruled the goal out for offside and there was a further slap in the face for the hosts, as Martin Odegaard opened the scoring late in injury time.

The Toffees went off celebrating but the crowd were soon silenced by VAR deciding that the former Watford forward was marginally offside.

Fans were annoyed last season at the number of 'toenail offsides' that were given by VAR, leading to goals being ruled out for the tightest of calls over and over again.

Speaking about the issue referees' chief Mike Riley, said, "On marginal offsides we have effectively reintroduced the benefit of the doubt to the attacking player.

"The toenails and the noses of the players that might have been offside last season won’t be next season."

Richarlison did eventually get what he deserved, as he headed home the equaliser in the 79th minute, and this time there were no questions of offside.

Things didn't end there though, with Demarai Gray scoring with a stunning injury time strike, that Ramsdale couldn't have got close to.
