Former Chelsea and Blackburn Rovers striker Chris Sutton agreed with Guardiola and Silva and said Kavanagh’s verdict looked like a “sheer guess”.<\/p>\n
“I think the game has gone,” added Sutton. “Is Thiaw really going to stop that? The distance from Semenyo is a yard, a yard and a half. Thiaw is not going to react to that.”<\/p>\n
Ex-Liverpool and England midfielder Jamie Redknapp and Newcastle defender Dan Burn said it was the correct call to rule out Semenyo’s effort, though both criticised the process. <\/p>\n
“If they had given the goal there wouldn’t be one person that looked at this and thought it shouldn’t have been allowed,” said Redknapp.<\/p>\n
“But by the letter of the law, whether we like it or not, it is the right decision.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Burn, who missed the game through injury, added: “I do think it is the right decision, I just don’t like the subjective offside. It’s either offside, or it’s not. <\/p>\n
“We don’t want to see that, but by the letter of the law it should be disallowed.”<\/p>\n
Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards said: “I understand the process but VAR wasn’t brought in for this reason here. <\/p>\n
“This is anti-goal which they said they weren’t going to do, they said they weren’t going to re-referee the game. <\/p>\n
“This for me is re-refereeing the game. They are both going at it. It might be right, but I don’t think we should be taking away goals for this. Why take five minutes?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
