United goal

Is the rule still “interfering with play” as rashford was certainly doing that. You may as well just have someone standing on the goalie all game if that is the case
 
current rules allow that as he didn’t interfere directly.

Liverpool benefited last week from the rule.
 
Man city’s centre backs are sh1te. I’m amazed Laporte can’t get in ahead of those 2, im Assuming Diaz and Stones are injured.

It’s a perfectly good goal, rashford didn’t touch the ball or interfere with a city player.

By definition of running through on goal and the ball being intended for him he’s interfering. The fact that defenders are going with him is also interfering with the phase

You can interfere without touching the ball according to the rules.

Ultimately you have to ask have untied gained an advantage from rashford’s offside position and the answer is definitely
 
In addition when the ball was played and it was clear offside like 5 yards the play would stop immediately and the phase wouldn’t allowed to run its course

Take him out of the equation and the defender behind him gets to that and clears. His presence also affected the movement and thinking of the other City players including the goalkeeper.

It didn’t effect the keeper at all Bruno hits it from the same location Rashford was stood in, if the defender had made an attempt attempt to tackle or take the ball I’d agree but they didn’t, it’s poor defending to blame.

Don’t get me wrong the new rules are stupid but by the letter of it that goals fine.

How is he shielding the ball there’s no city player near him.

Both the goalie and the defenders reacted to him moving towards the ball. Had he just stood still, let the ball run past him and Fernandez scored then I'd not be arguing. However, he moved like he had the intention to play the ball wether he then decided to leave it or not.
Just another example of why the existence of VAR is creating a 2 tier officiating system.
In the championship the linesman would have flagged that offside and the game would have carried on without incident. Because VAR is in action it gave the officials time to discuss the ins and outs of the finer points of the laws.

It clearly impacted the keeper.

He'd started to run out because it looked like Rashford was about to take a shot, then Fernandes came from a different angle and scored.
