The Everton manager claimed that he had overheard the fourth official, Craig Pawson, agreeing with the referee over his headset that time was up before the final goal.
“The fourth official made it clear it was time, before the ball was played into the box - no debate,” Martinez said. “Maybe the whole ground should see the time left on a big clock. But a player two yards offside in the box? That's unacceptable. It's a decision that should have been given offside. It doesn't come down to the interpretation of the referee. It's a heartbreaking moment for us. The referee wasn't up to the level today.”
