Reading manager Veljko Paunovic believes the effort by Tom Dele-Bashiru was onside and should have been allowed to stand against Barnsley in their EFL Championship fixture on Saturday.
The 22-year-old Nigeria international had the ball in the back of the net in the 27th minute, after breaking through the Barnsley line to latch onto an Ovie Ejaria cross before toeing the ball past custodian Bradley Collins from close range – but the offside flag was raised.
However, Reading went on to score in the 77th minute courtesy of John Swift as they claimed their sixth win of the campaign from 12 matches.
