16.1.10

Chelsea Vs Sunderland | Anelka goal ruled onside


Description of incident: In a flowing attack by Chelsea, Ballack slipped an exquisite pass through the Sunderland defence which Anelka ran onto, casually taking it around the 'keeper to score.

Date of Game: Saturday 16th January 2010

Home Team: Chelsea | Away Team: Sunderland

Referee: Chris Foy | Linesman: Ceri Richards & Mike Mullarkey

Decision Type: Offside | Verdict: | Decision Difficulty: 3/5

Affect on Result: N/A | Winner: Chelsea | Loser: Sunderland

Players Involved: Nicolas Anelka, Michael Ballack (Chelsea) & Lorik Cana (Sunderland)

Summary: This was the type of offside decision we quite often see referees getting wrong, the move by Chelsea was rapid - finishing with a one-touch pass from Ballack. But replays show that Anelka was clearly a yard onside. Right decision.

Cheers,
WB
