Video: Why Inter goal against Genoa is controversial

Former referee Luca Marelli claims Genoa had excellent motive to argue the Marko Arnautovic purpose for Inter ought to’ve been disallowed for a Yann Bisseck push.

The sport ended 1-1, however the Nerazzurri had taken the lead via Arnautovic, who tapped in after a Nicolò Barella angled drive was fingertipped onto the far put up.

Genoa have been livid on the time and needed VAR to intervene, feeling that Bisseck had pushed Kevin Strootman when the unique throw-in was knocked down for Barella.

“It’s a purpose that may trigger an excessive amount of controversy,” mentioned Marelli in his position as refereeing pundit on DAZN.

“Strootman falls to the bottom when Bisseck pushes him with two arms firmly on his again. It’s a clear foul and I frankly anticipated VAR to intervene.

“It is vitally just like one other purpose that Nicolò Casale noticed disallowed for Lazio in opposition to Verona initially of December. When there are two arms on the again to push, that may be a foul.”

The one doable distinction right here is that Casale scored the purpose and pushed Ondrej Duda, whereas on this case Bisseck didn’t contact the ball within the build-up.

It was a gaggle of gamers who went as much as attain that throw-in, with Bisseck and Strootman amongst them, so it may maybe be argued they weren’t interfering with play.
