Regarding the Manchester City derby controversial goal, international referee and former Chinese Super League golden whistle Sun Baojie gave her opinion.
Sun Baojie said: "Rashford was in the lead, he threw off the defenders, did not prevent the defenders to fight for the ball, did not affect the defenders' ability to handle the ball, so the 'interfere with the opposing players' is not valid, so the on-duty referee's decision is extremely accurate." Defenders should defend with all their strength rather than give up, and this is also a lesson for defenders. ”
Regarding the controversial penalty, B Fei bluntly said that because no Manchester City defender approached Marcus, Rashford should not have an impact on Manchester City's defense. Pep Guardiola, on the other hand, believes Marcus Rashford is in an offside position, distracting City goalkeepers and defenders. Sun Baojie's analysis this time is actually similar to what B Fei said, and rejected Guardiola's point of view.
Former Premier League referee Peter Walton also thinks it was a good goal, and his view is that Marcus Rashford has not significantly affected the Manchester City defender's defence. Of course, there are also many Premier League players who believe it is a miscalculation, with both Petr Cech and Abonlaho criticising the rule-makers for not understanding the ball.
There was a very similar controversial goal in the 14/15 Champions League play-offs, when Bilbao faced Napoli at home, Aduriz also did not touch the ball in the offside position, and finally the ball was scored by Gomes, and the referee also ruled the goal valid.
