In a thrilling FA Cup match, Coventry City fought back from being three goals down to level the scores at 3-3 against Manchester United. However, the drama continued into extra time when Coventry thought they had won it with a goal from Victor Torp.
The goal was initially ruled out for offside by VAR, but new footage has emerged which suggests that Torp may have been onside. The video shows that Coventry forward Haji Wright was level with Manchester United’s last defender, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, when the ball was played through.
If the footage is correct, it means that the offside call was wrong and Coventry should have been awarded the goal. This would have given them a famous victory over one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Manchester United went on to win the match on penalties, but the offside controversy will linger. Coventry manager Mark Robins has already said that he believes his team would have won if the goal had been allowed, and the new footage seems to support his claim.
