Petr Cech was left shocked after Manchester United’s equaliser in their 2-1 win against Manchester City was allowed to stand.
Man United were trailing to a Jack Grealish goal at Old Trafford but managed to pull level through Bruno Fernandes in the 78th minute before Marcus Rashford got the winner four minutes later.
However, United’s equaliser was shrouded in controversy amidst claims that Rashford, who was offside, was interfering with play in the build-up to Fernandes’ goal.
Cech has claimed that the fact that Manchester United’s opening goal against was allowed to stand proves that football’s lawmakers ‘don’t understand the game’.
Rashford didn’t actually touch the ball but he was heavily involved in the build-up to the goal as he shielded the ball following a pass from Casemiro.
Former Arsenal and Chelsea goalkeeper Cech wrote on Twitter: ‘The first United goal just proved the people who make the rules don’t understand the game.’
