OFFSIDE! Sancho weaves his way past Matip and threads a pass towards Rashford, who takes the ball in stride and fires at goal on his left foot. Alisson is sharp off his line to deny the forward and get to his feet to block Elanga's effort on the rebound. The flag goes up late for offside, but replays show that Rashford was onside. Therefore, his strike would have counted after a VAR check had he found the net.
