“I think we scored a perfectly good goal at 1-0, which probably completely changes everything if you go into 1-1 when you maybe don't deserve it,” Robertson told reporters after the game. “Yeah, I don't agree with the excuse they've given.” Asked what explanation was given for the goal being disallowed, Robertson replied: “I think initially they were looking at whether I was in the eyesight of the goalkeeper.

“I think if they say that then there will be obviously bigger problems, but it's clear that I'm not in the eyesight of the goalie, but I think then they kind of change that a little bit and say that obviously the fact that I ducked, but in my opinion, that makes me smaller so it makes it easier for the goalie to see the ball and I don't think the goalie gets it regardless.

I think now people are saying there's a quite similar example with City from Wolves away last season, and that got given, so it's obviously a grey area.
