I don't understand why Martinelli's goal was ruled offside. Nketiah was in an offside position on the right when the pass was made out to Martinelli's on the left, but he wasn't interfering with play throughout the entire process. Have they changed the rules again?
Edit: oh I see how. Eddie was outside before he flicked the ball back to Vieira who then threaded it through you Martinelli.
It was the play before the ball was played out to Martinelli. Gabriel’s pass was deflected by an Everton player which ended up to Nketiah but he was offside when Gabriel played the ball.
And just to add to this, no, Beto did not cancel out the offside. The rules are that you have to deliberately play the ball, which in the rules imply control. Having the ball whacked into you like it was for him is not control.
