        It's comes off his back and is heading towards goal, it also clips Sangare's elbow. I thought according to rules the goal should be awarded to Semenyo.

      Burnley is difficult team. Goals against them come from many different players. But when teams do only or mostly counter attacks the picture changes. It was Rogers who passed that Watkins offside goal. Avl didn't park the double-decker, so J P was the one in the best position. Likes of Reece James are like Grealish on his best days. They csn find the striker.

    Can someone explain the rules exactly involving the touch from Semenyo. The Rodri header looks like it's going wide until it hits Semenyo's back and then onto Sangare's elbow. If they deem that Rodri's header was on target will he get credited with the goal even if it came off Semenyo, because it doesn't look like he made a deliberate move towards the ball?

      Goal will be granted to the attacking player whoever Opta believe the ball touched last.

      If there are further deflections or touches from defensive players it will only be given as an own goal if it can be definitive the ball was originally heading off target prior to the deflection off of the defensive player.

      Yes, that was terribly unlucky for Saliba owners. I'd probably have been one of them if I wasn't already on Timber.
      On the other hand, I'm really happy with the decision to keep Timber and ignore Van Dijk. That's one case where the popular transfer didn't work out.

    Anderson delivers again. On 76 points thanks to some bench jam.

      He’s a good asset. Had him till gw18.

      75 here. Hill from the bench and good ol’ Tark, surely can’t complain.

    2.68NPxGI is ridiculous for Pedro. That's like ordering 4 naans in an Indian restaurant.

    Haaland to Pedro seems like the most obvious transfer in the world........ Right?

      Right before Haaland plays West Ham. You know what happens if you make that move right?

    Is the app broken for anyone else? They still haven't added in Semenyo's second goal.

      Yeah, coz Rodrigo scored.

      Be crazy to just add goals to random players coz you captained them champ.
