But he was behind Foster and only in front of one defender Dawson so offside,

The biggest furore was over their disallowed goal but I thought that was the easiest decision. You have to have two defenders between the attacker and the ball for the player to be onside and the keeper usually counts as one of those defenders.

So who is correct?

Offside is one of the laws of association football, codified in Law 11 of the Laws of the Game. The law states that players in an offside position, when the ball is touched or played by a teammate, may not become actively involved in the play. A player is in an offside position if any of their body parts with which they can touch the ball during any other part of the play is in the opponents' half of the pitch and closer to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-to-last opponent (usually, but not necessarily always, the last defensive player in front of the goalkeeper).


Therefore he was offside as he only had 1 player infront of him when the ball was passed to him.
