Interesting application of offside in the #UEFANationsFinal for Kylian Mbappe's winner.

It's a decision which is correct in law to allow the goal, but one which many will feel should be disallowed in the spirit of the game.

Mbappe is clearly offside when the pass is played.
Remember that being in an offside position is not an offside offence.

The point when the ball is touched by the passer purely sets each player's position relative to each other for offside.

It's what happens after this which decides if there is any offence.
This is the clause which is key to the onside decision in the Kylian Mbappe goal.

"A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball, including by deliberate handball, is not considered to have gained an advantage."
