Howard Webb admitted that Nathan Ake's goal against Fulham was offside and should have been disallowed.
Man City beat Fulham 5-1The Dutch defender scored a crucial goal for Manchester City against Fulham last weekend which restored the club's lead. Ake's goal at the stroke of halftime was checked by VAR after the initial replays suggested Manuel Akanji was in an offside position when the Dutchman headed the ball into the net from Phil Foden's corner.
After a thorough check, VAR upheld the referee's decision and the goal was awarded. But now Professional Game Match Officials Limited chief Howard Webb has admitted that the goal was wrongly given as Akanji was clearly obstructing Bernd Leno's vision while being in an offside position.
