Okay, so we all know the decision by Thomas Bramall to rule out Morgan Rogers' goal yesterday was extremely controversial.

This is because the official blew his whistle before the ball hit the back of the net, meaning VAR couldn't check the foul on Altay Bayindir.

The General consensus was that it was a terrible decision.

However, a new angle of the footage shows that Rogers stands on Bayindir's hand before getting the ball, which would be a foul.

As a result, Bramall could have actually been spot on with his decision even if he shouldn't have blown his whistle.
