Description of incident: The ball was played into the Wigan area which Cahill latched onto. His cross-shot deflected at least once before landing at Fellaini's feet for him to roll in from a yard out. Only then did the linesman raise his flag. I can only assume from the timing of the flag that it was raised for Fellaini.
Date of Game: Saturday 30th January 2010
Home Team:
Wigan Athletic | Away Team:
EvertonReferee: Lee Probert | Linesman: Gary Stott & Andy Halliday
Decision Type: Offside | Verdict:
| Decision Difficulty: 5/5Affect on Result: Everton went on to win anyway so none | Winner: Wigan | Loser: Everton
Players Involved: Marouane Fellaini & Tim Cahill (Everton)
Summary: Both Cahill and Fellaini were on the brink of offside as the ball was played into the area but were just the right side of the Wigan defenders. When Cahill played the ball across goal, Fellaini was behind the ball so could not have been offside at this moment. The huge delay on the linesman raising his flag suggested that he struggled with this decision. Unfortunately for Everton, he got it wrong.
