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).

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.
