Description of incident: From just inside his own half, Ireland played the ball forward for Adebayor to run onto. He ran through a gaping hole in the Portsmouth defence as the ball bounced just outside the penalty area. He duly dispatched the ball into the net with a crisp volley. Despite the appeals for offside, the ref gave the goal.

Summary: Similar to the Joe Cole decision on Saturday, this was made difficult by the distance between Adebayor and the Portsmouth defenders. This time however, the referee got the decision right and allowed the goal. The replays showed that Adebayor was clearly onside when the ball left Ireland's boot.
