Some interesting points that he made there.
He definitely didn't think it should have been a penalty.
We'll have a look at it all in a minute when we go through the analysis.
But your initial thoughts on his interview?
Well, West Ham were leading at half-time.
They thought they had got their second goal, which is where we're going to start our analysis for this one.
They thought they'd got their second goal.
It was called offside, not disallowed, much to, I suppose, the dismay of a lot of the West Ham fans and players as well.
Let's just explain actually what the law is.
Castellanos in an offside position for deliberate play.
Deliberate play is when a player has control of the ball with the possibility of passing the ball to a team mate or gaining possession of the ball or clearing the ball, for example, by kicking or heading it.
There's another page to this as well.
Which then shows considerations for determining uncontrolled action, which also means not deliberate play.
The ball travelled from short distance and or the player does not have a clear view of it.
The ball was moving quickly.
The direction of the ball was unexpected.
The player had limited or no time to coordinate their body movement.
For example, clearly a case of instinctive stretching or jumping.
Explain your point of view of this, Rob.
OK, well, you mentioned it was an interesting time for it to happen because it kind of turned the game a little bit, didn't it?
