That was our Question YOUR Answer is...

Filipe Almeida a Other from London United Kingdom

Offside.

There was only one defender between goal and attacking team and receiver (as all other 3) was past the half way line

Patrick a Referee from Champlin MN USA

First at 0:03 in the video the red player makes contact with the blue player and doesn't ever make a play on the ball. I'd whistle the foul there.

If for some reason I allowed play to continue, the break away situation sees a forward pass to Benteke while he is in a offside position. In fact all red players in the frame at 0:08 are offside restricted players, it wouldn't matter who the ball went to there should be an offside call. This is all assuming there are no other defenders outside the frame of the video.

Lucas Lazzaroni a Referee from Coquitlam British Columbia Canada

When the pass came in, all 4 Liverpool players in Leicester's half were offside. Since Leicester's goalkeeper had come up, there was only 1 Leicester player between Benteke (who received the pass) and the goal. The offside rule states there must be 2 players between the attacker and the goal. Usually this is a goalkeeper and a defender but since the Leicester keeper came up there was only 1. The correct call should've been an offside against Liverpool.

Owen a Referee from Waunakee Wisconsin USA

The player is offside when the passer plays the ball. He is in his opponents half,and past the second to last defender, in this case, it was the goalkeeper. The last defender in normal situations is usually the goalkeeper, but in this case it was the full back, in accordance to law 11 of FIFA laws of the game.
