Experts agree Pulisic's 3-1 goal against Sassuolo should have stood: "Not enough"

""Both on the initial cross and on Pavlovic's header, they are onside, and the contact between Loftus-Cheek-Candé is indeed no more than a contact. "There are indeed two hands on the back, but in the dynamics, it's noticeable that there is no real push, and the Neroverdi player then falls by himself. It's not enough to disallow the goal because of that contact,""

""It leaves a lot of doubts. The goal was disallowed for a push by Loftus-Cheek on Candé. The referee allows the play to be completed and then blows the whistle. It was a field play, so VAR cannot intervene. "There was contact, Loftus puts his hands on the Sassuolo player, but I don't see any push. Considering that Crezzini called very little, 24 fouls, this is way below the threshold. He simply put his hands"

Christian Pulisic steered a rebound into the net after Strahinja Pavlovic's header was saved, but the referee disallowed the goal for an alleged foul by Ruben Loftus-Cheek before the header. Play was restarted quickly and no VAR check occurred. Replays showed no clear shove and the contact appeared minimal. Refereeing analysts judged both the initial cross and header offside calls incorrect and described the contact as insufficient to overturn a goal. The referee's timing in blowing the whistle prevented a VAR intervention. Milan later conceded a late equaliser and dropped two points.
