Serious mistake by the referee and the VAR on the England goal: It shouldn’t have gone on the scoreboard!

The purpose of which England led the scoreboard in the final of European Sub21 in between England and Spainit should not have been done. The English team managed to take the lead before the break thanks to a free-kick from the edge of the area and that, after the first hit of the ball from palmersis Curtis Jones who touches the ball changes the trajectory and makes any reaction of Arnau Tenas.

A goal that should not have gone up on the scoreboard because Jones’ position, like another English player, was completely illegal. The Laws of the Game make this clear, literally stating that “When three or more players of the defending team form a barrier, all players of the attacking team must remain at least 1 meter (1 yards) from it to the ball. is in Game”.

And the images leave no room for doubt. The barrier formed in this action by Spain consists of six players. Four together and two more about a meter apart. But this initial barrier of four Spaniards should have forced the two English players to maintain this mandatory distance of one meter apart. Something that has not yet been fulfilled.

The surprising thing is that in the end it was the Norwegian referee Espan Escas He did not nullify the English cause; nor was it made from the VAR room of its two parts, the German Christian Dingert and the polish Bartosz Frankowski. An action that, according to UEFA’s own official website; It was checked from the VOR room and that, having ended in a goal, it should have been communicated that it did not go up on the scoreboard.
