       Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal: Should Trevoh Chalobah's opening goal have
       been disallowed due to Enzo Fernandez being in an offside
       position?

       I've not seen conclusive proof that Enzo is offside (can't see
       the defender's feet on the stills I have seen).
       However, assuming he was in an offside position then it
       absolutely should have been ruled out, for the same reason
       Brentford's equaliser against Chelsea should have been (but
       wasn't). I'm not sure if Enzo is trying to play the ball, but he
       is offside and impacting the defender. Equally, Arsenal's goal
       against Spurs should have been ruled out with 2 players in the
       eyeline of the keeper.
       It seems like we're getting more and more decisions that might
       be technically correct but would not be what fans expect. I'd
       like the laws to result in decisions that are easily supportable
       by fans.

       despite the antics. No issue with number of cards when
       absolutely cast iron and players refuse to stop committing
       offences - nothing ref can do about it.

       He looked fed up when he gave a free kick at the end 🤣

       I am scratching my head trying to think of any law that is
       easily supportable by fans.
