16.1.10

Stoke City Vs Liverpool | Huth goal ruled onside


Description of incident: In a hectic final few minutes of normal time, Stoke swung a corner into the Liverpool area. Higginbotham climbed higher than anyone else to head the ball towards the back post where Huth was unmarked to stab the ball into the Liverpool net. Goal given.

Date of Game: Saturday 16th January 2010

Home Team: Stoke City | Away Team: Liverpool

Referee: Lee Mason | Linesman: Simon Long & Mo Matadar

Decision Type: Offside | Verdict: | Decision Difficulty: 1/5

Affect on Result: N/A | Winner: Stoke City | Loser: Liverpool

Players Involved: Danny Higginbotham, Robert Huth (Stoke City) & Emiliano Insua (Liverpool)

Summary: Easy offside call, despite Liverpool's synchronised arm raising. Right decision as Insua was playing Huth onside on the opposite side of the six yard box.

Cheers,
WB
