FIFA’s chief of Global Football Development, Arsene Wenger, has sided with Carlo Ancelotti, who claimed that Manchester City’s goal shouldn’t have stood.

Kevin De Bruyne scored in the 67^th minute, but the ball crossed the line in the build-up to the goal.

Ancelotti said: “The ball was off the pitch [in the build-up to Manchester City’s goal]. That’s it. Technology said it. I don’t understand why VAR didn’t check it. The referee didn’t pay attention to many things tonight.”

Former Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger, who now works with FIFA, said: “VAR should have checked Bernardo Silva’s controlling the ball out of play.

“At the moment VAR cannot check the sidelines but we have a chip in the ball so we can see.”

🗣️ "The VAR normally should check if the goal is regular or not, in a situation like that – they have to intervene. They did not go far enough back to check."
