Offside?! Man Utd let off with disallowed Southampton goal

A controversial decision early in the Wembley final outraged some spectators, with Jose Mourinho's men the beneficiaries

Manchester United were extremely fortunate to have a Southampton goal scored against them disallowed in Sunday's League Cup final.

Manolo Gabbiadini converted a short cross into the box 10 minutes in, but referee Andre Marriner ruled out the effort due to an offside call from the linesman.

However, replays suggested it was Ryan Bertrand who was in an offside position, not Gabbiadini - and the full-back was inactive and not interfering with play, raising doubts about how correct the decision was.
