Smith Rowe goal: 'Never seen anything like it' - but should it have stood?
It took over three minutes for the officials to decide if Smith Rowe's goal should stand or notMikel Arteta said he had never seen a goal like it. Michael Carrick was glad he didn't have to address it for too long. So should Emile Smith Rowe's opener for Arsenal at Old Trafford have stood or not?
On a night of excitement, drama, controversy - and the landmark of Cristiano Ronaldo passing 800 career goals - Smith Rowe's finish in Arsenal's 3-2 defeat at Manchester United on Thursday remained a big talking point afterwards.
It was fired in with United goalkeeper David de Gea down injured after team-mate Fred had stood on his heel following a corner.
