Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has offered his verdict on the goal which gave Everton the lead at Manchester United on Sunday in the 1-1 draw.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin collided with United goalkeeper David de Gea in the penalty box before the ball bounced in off of Victor Lindelof for an unfortunate own goal for the hosts.
Everton fans were delighted, though, with the incident as they took a first-half lead, though there was a slight worry that the goal would be overturned after the decision was looked at by VAR.
Those fears were brushed aside as the goal was confirmed, with interim boss Duncan Ferguson showing his excitement with more touchline celebrations.
But should the goal have stood? The Premier League explained during the contest that the goal stood due to the fact that Calvert-Lewin's coming together with De Gea was 'normal contact'.
United legend Gary Neville was furious at the time and had this to say: "I'm surprised. Usually, a goalkeeper gets that when the arm gets put across them.
"I did think initially that even on the replay David de Gea should have been stronger but he did have that arm on him.
"He didn't complain that much, David de Gea. It's just that left arm from Calvert-Lewin. I am surprised that hasn't been given but he did need to be stronger, the goalkeeper."
Former referee Gallagher has since backed up the Premier League's viewpoint with his thoughts on Sky Sports' Ref Watch this morning.
"I honestly don't think it's a foul. When you watch it, De Gea comes out and flaps at the ball. They [De Gea and Calvert-Lewin] are both in the air and Calvert-Lewin does have an arm across him, but the ball is gone. There's going to be inevitable contact at this point," Gallagher told Sky Sports .
"I think the contact has happened afterwards. He's come out and flapped at the ball for whatever reason, they're both in the air and there is going to be a collision, there's no doubt about that, but I think it happens after the ball has gone past him."
