Referees in England from the Premier League and Football League have been told to change their current interpretation of the offside rule after a major disagreement over Manchester City’s goal scored by Bernardo Silva against Aston Villa last week. . According to a report published by “Sky Sports”.
Under the current interpretation, referee John Moss and his assistant Darren were correct in their decision that the goal should count, but under the new law, the goal would be canceled.
The English Premier League and the English Football League have sent a letter to 91 professional clubs regarding the new amendments that will be effectively implemented from now until further notice.

What happened?
During Aston Villa’s game against Manchester City, which ended in the latter’s 2-0 victory, Tyrone Mings made a mistake clearing the ball after City’s Rodry interfered with play and was in an off-position position. game.
Villa defender Tyrone Mings had commented in the clip saying: “I’ve never heard of this rule, not allowing players to stop offside and then come back and cut the ball off you?
