Can't give the minutes / seconds on the video but between first goal and half time there's a SFP call for a Keane foul on Doku. YC from Oliver and City commentator says "The reason it's not going to be a red card is that VAR will not overrule Michael Oliver's call...."

But what was going on for the Everton equaliser? AR sees attacker Barry in offside position and AR stops, not keeping up with play; ball was played nearer defender Guehi so no question of Barry interfering; Guehi then tries passing ball to GK but gives it to Barry (in offside position) but it's obvious ball was deliberately played not deflected. Then flag goes up...

The goal is a weird one for me.

Personally id like to see this as offside as he has gained an advantage being there with the initial intended pass clearly for Barry.
However, law says otherwise.
Barry never made an obvious move for the ball and Guehi, unchallenged at this point, turns and passes to him. This makes it a deliberate pass by Guehi and a completely new phase of play.
Remember, its not an offence to be in an offside position. Only if you become involved in the offside phase of play.

I don't think that's SFP.
Yeah agree that the goal is correct to stand. Presumably a little bit of a misunderstanding between Burt and Oliver.
