Man Utd, who had been dragged away after giving up the opening goal in the home room, made a tie in the 33rd minute of the second half in a controversial scene.



Casemiro stabbed a penetrating pass to Rashford, and Fernandez, who was running behind Rashford, equalized with a one-touch shot. .



Rashford was clearly in an offside position, but the referee ruled that he was not offside as he ran at the ball without touching it.



However, protests ensued that offside was correct if it affected play even if there was no contact with the ball.



[Akanji/Man City defender: It's a really absurd situation.

Rashford ran 30m to get the ball and was stopped just before the shot.

It's an obvious offside.]



[Rashford/Man Utd striker: I just slowed down after realizing that it was an offside position.

It did not affect the movement of Manchester City players.]



Experts were also divided in their opinions, saying, 'It was Rashford's clever play' and 'Offside was right because he was involved in the play'.
