Riyad Mahrez's second goal for Manchester City against United in the Premier League derby caused controversy on social media in many ways.
The Cityzens were 3-1 up until injury time but the Algerian raced through and finished past David de Gea but celebrations were initially cut short due to the raising of the offside flag.
In a very tight decision that reminisced what happened to Romelu Lukaku at Wembley, after much deliberation, Michael Oliver was told to overturn the on-field decision to the joy of the City fans inside the Etihad Stadium who will be grateful for Alex Telles' noticeable green boot that led to this change of heart.
Alongside Man United fans who were left in a state of disbelief by the decision and the overall embarrassment suffered by the Red Devils in this latest edition of their local derby, Chelsea supporters were also not in favour of the decision made by the VAR on this occasion.
Thomas Tuchel even questioned the decision post-match in the first domestic final of 2021/22 and he was not so pleased. He said: “It's a bit of a weird line where it is drawn and then to make the decision it's offside."
Now, that both decisions have been compared alongside the Liverpool one that also went in favour of Chelsea's rivals as Sadio Mane was given the benefit of doubt in the most recent West Ham victory, this has been enough for certain sections of the Blues faithful to make indefinite conclusions after the Manchester Derby.
Here's the best of the reaction on social media.
@CFCDaily tweeted: "Another one of these offside decisions that look onside.. if only they spent that much time last week.
"Original decision was no goal and that took 2 minutes to sort out. Same last week but took no more than 20 seconds. Ok we believe you."
@jakecoulson99 pointed out: "3 minutes looking at something for a team 3-1 up in stoppage time but couldn’t be arsed in a cup final…"
@Hawkesy2021 replied: "Exactly what I’m thinking."
@HarveyW25218869 brought up that famous quote once again: "As mourinho said “there is a campaign against chelsea”. Only difference now is that they ain’t trying to hide it."
@luthergnade admitted: "Ofc it’s been given man I hate Chelsea being hated."
@aleixwits tweeted: "But lukaku was offside not mane and mahrez. Big agenda against chelsea."
