Experienced former Premier League and FIFA-listed official Chris Foy has explained why Georginio Rutter’s goal against Bristol City last weekend was ruled out by referee Keith Stroud.
The Frenchman thought he had put Leeds further in front following Kal Naismith’s equaliser on the stroke of half-time and Joel Piroe’s fifth goal in eight games, but fell to his knees as the assistant referee’s flag was raised on the far side of the pitch. Dan James’ out-swinging corner was delivered into the penalty area during the 72nd minute, resulting in an attempt by Sam Byram as the ball fell to the defender.
'Although he doesn't touch Byram's initial shot, he makes a clear attempt to play the ball, and clearly impacts the ability of Bristol City's goalkeeper to play the ball, who delays his save and spills Byram's effort, before Georginio taps the loose ball into the net.
