offside law confuses me, Sarri is going on about how Kane's upper body was past the defender so was offside, when did the law change, I though there had to be clear space between defender and attacker for the attacker to be offside? For a linesman to make the call on a body part seems well fucking difficult.
also at the time in stadium pretty much everyone thought Kane was onside.

If he's offside, he's offside and the linesman got that right.
I think you will find that 90% of the stadium were Tottenham supporters. Hardly an appropriate measure.
Skillful dive as well by Kane. Whether or not there was contact, the boy has clearly been practising. But of course, "He's not that kind of player".
Seven free kicks awarded for fouls on Hazard. Numerous others where the advantage was played. Only two bookings. The cynical targeting of one player by Tottenham ought to see sanctions against the manager. A lengthy touch line ban and a fine that actually hurts him would be a start. He really is the Mark Hughes of the modern game.

IFAB Decision 1:- Consideration should be given to any part of the head, body or feet of the attacker in relation to the second last defender, the ball or the halfway line
- For the purposes of this decision, the arms are not considered to be part of the body.

There are two slides that demonstrate this a bit further down (the one for the half way line and the one before it).

Have we had the debate where we all agree Kane was offside?
