Between this and the NHL I'm getting used to low officiating standards.
Like in this instance, and mind you I only saw it as it happened, I havent analyzed it in great detail, but Grealish may or may not have been offside, but by my understanding the ref called play back about 20 yards for the earlier foul rather than playing advantage.
Thats the problem. That, to me, seems about as clear an opportunity to play advantage as you're going to see. Why he blew that down? Well...its going to be the territory of pundits from London to Manchester all week.
