Confusion as Sky Sports fails to show offside Arsenal winner
Goal-line technology ruled out offside, but millions of viewers at home were left in the dark
The controversial incident occurred in the dying minutes of the match, with Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah tapping in from close range as Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea rushed out to meet the ball
However, replays showed that Nketiah was marginally offside when the ball was played, and goal-line technology confirmed the decision.
Despite the technology ruling out the goal, Sky Sports failed to show the replay to viewers at home, leaving millions of people confused as to why the goal had been disallowed.
The incident sparked outrage on social media, with many fans accusing Sky Sports of incompetence and bias.
A Sky Sports spokesperson said that the broadcaster was "investigating" the incident.
Conclusion
The confusion surrounding Arsenal's late winner against Manchester United highlights the importance of accurate and timely information in sports broadcasting.
Viewers at home have a right to expect that they will be shown all of the key moments in a match, and Sky Sports' failure to do so in this instance is a major disappointment.
The broadcaster must learn from this mistake and ensure that it does not happen again in the future.
