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.

A ludicrous suggestion considering this is one of football's oldest and most widely used tactics. Is there a single club who hasn't hacked the shit out of Hazard this year? He's probably the best player in the league and his club has a severe over-reliance him. It isn't pretty, but it's sensible strategy to employ.
Your grievances lie with the league that isn't protecting its star/highly skilled players and your club that hasn't sought to protect him or acquire other attacking players that can actually score goals.
...which is why he'll fuck off to Real Madrid this summer.
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.
