...so if the official reason for not awarding Everton a goal was for offside - a decision made by the VAR team, how on earth did they arrive at that conclusion if it is clearly seen that Mcguire made a deliberate play at the ball - and therefore rese...

Jonny Gray of Villamartin, Orihuela Costa Spain asks...
