2 h. ago ‘Edge cases’ blamed for long VAR delay before City’s disallowed Semenyo goal

Semi-automated offside technology was not availableHigh number of bodies in the box prevented its useThe delay in ruling out a Manchester City goal for offside in Tuesday’s Carabao Cup win at Newcastle was extended because semi-automated offside technology could not be used in the incident.It took more than five minutes for a check to determine that Erling Haaland was offside and had interfered with play by holding the defender Malick Thiaw, with the referee Chris Kavanagh disallowing what would have been a second goal of the night for City’s new signing Antoine Semenyo.

‘I think my players were angry. The spirit was there’Newcastle beaten 2-0 in Carabao Cup semi-final first-legPep Guardiola’s evident delight at Manchester City’s 2-0 win at Newcastle in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final was tempered by the lengthy video assistant referee delay that disallowed what would have been Antoine Semenyo’s second goal of the game.It prompted Manchester City’s manager to launch into an epic, and often incomprehensible, rant about VAR and its perceived failings or, more pertinently, non-involvements during City’s 2-1 defeat at Newcastle in November and last season’s FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace.

15 h. ago Semenyo and Cherki give Manchester City edge over Newcastle after VAR storm

Eddie Howe was not exactly overjoyed to learn that, instead of being cup-tied, Antoine Semenyo was free to play for Manchester City. Sure enough the Newcastle manager’s worst fears were realised as Semenyo – who had played in the competition this season for Bournemouth – scored City’s opener and had an another “goal” disallowed before Rayan Cherki’s stoppage-time second left Pep Guardiola smiling broadly.With a second leg at the Etihad Stadium still to come this semi-final is not quite over but, thanks to not merely Semenyo but some fine goalkeeping from James Trafford, Newcastle’s defence of the Carabao Cup they won last March is looking distinctly fragile.
