The Official Rule That Means Man City's Disallowed Winner Against Spurs Was the Correct Decision

Marge, it happened again.

Manchester City must've seen enough of that Video Assistant Referee (VAR) when Tottenham dumped them out of the Champions League last season - it denied them a late, late winner to take them through to the semi-finals.

That game was crazy. And on Spurs' next visit to the Etihad Stadium - Saturday, August 17, 2019 - lightning struck twice. In the same ground. At the same end. Against the same team. At the same stage of the game. Gabriel Jesus scored to earn City (what they thought) was a 3-2 win and wheeled away in celebration.
