Sky Sports pundits Hal Robson-Kanu and Courtney Sweetman-Kirk were in agreement that Sheffield United’s winning goal against Bristol City shouldn’t have stood because striker Billy Sharp was standing in an offside position before Iliman Ndiaye provided the finishing touch.
Ndiaye’s 49th-minute header decided a tight contest at Ashton Gate in what was one of only four attempts on Max O’Leary’s net by the Blades, but ultimately secured the three points for the visitors.
As a cross was sent in by James McAtee, Sharp was standing the wrong side of Zak Vyner with no other defender between him and O’Leary, a position he held as he jumped to compete for the header while also delivering a subtle shove to the back, forcing the City centre-back to miscue his clearance behind him, with George Tanner also coming across to challenge the veteran.
