At the end of Howard Webb’s toughest weekend since taking up his new role as chief refereeing officer in the Premier League, former official Dermot Gallagher gives his verdict on the big decisions.

INCIDENT: VAR check cleared Marcus Rashford from being offside in the build-up to Bruno Fernandes’ equaliser (78) – to the fury of City’s players, who protested that the forward had interfered with play.

What is the offside rule in this case?
A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:

. interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate or

. interfering with an opponent by:

. preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or

. challenging an opponent for the ball or

. clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or

. making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball

DERMOT’S VERDICT: Wrong decision, offside.
