Former Newcastle striker, Alan Shearer, has actually stated Marcus Rashford’s winner against West Ham on Saturday might have been prohibited for offside. Rashford scored in the third minute of injury time, tapping home an Edinson Cavani cross.

Cavani was released by an Anthony Martial through ball, with television replays revealing he was only very marginally onside.

Shearer feels VAR could have come to a different conclusion and conserved West Ham a point.

“All four people in the workplace believed it was going to be given offside. In the image we saw that was frozen, Edinson Cavani looked offside.

“It will be tough to consider West Ham when you have worked so tough and fought so hard like they did. To lose it because style, it is hard to take,” Shearer told BBC Radio 5 Live.
