Description of incident: McCarthy curled a free kick in from just inside the Fulham half, near the left touch line. Nelson escaped all markers to get a minor touch to flick the ball into the net. The protests for offside from Fulham were ignored and goal given.

Decision Type: Offside | Verdict:

Summary: It's an extremely tight call, again I needed a number of replays to decide that he probably was offside. But that still makes it a wrong decision, and if I was choosing to be a lot harsher on the officials I would say that technically it looks like Nelson wasn't ever in an onside position - even if the final call was tough.
