It looked highly unlikely De Gea would have saved the shot anyway but the goal was chalked off, leaving Everton incensed as Carlo Ancelotti was sent off for remonstrating with the match officials at full time. “That is a disaster,” Calvert-Lewin said, when shown the goal immediately after the game, “Oh my gosh.” He’s not even obstructing the line of sight. ”
The Everton striker then gave a more measured response in his post-match interview, adding: “In the moment, I wasn’t sure. Seeing it back I think Gylfi on the floor doesn’t obstruct the line of sight. “Fair enough, he’s in an offside position but then It takes a deflection, the keeper is going the other way and he’s got his legs out of the way. The keeper is never going to save the ball so I’m not sure what it is.
“For me, as a striker, I think it’s a goal but VAR says otherwise and cancels out the emotion at the end. What can you do? ”
