Few can begrudge City their win given they dominated proceedings at the Etihad, but there is no doubt Sterling’s opening goal was scored in controversial circumstances.The England forward was clearly in an offside position when played through by Sergio Aguero, before Daryl Janmaat cleared the ball onto Sterling as he shot towards goal. The linesman ruled out the goal for offside having seen Sterling was beyond the last defender, but referee Tierney overruled his assistant after a lengthy chat on the sidelines.Tierney overruled his linesman to award Sterling’s goal3

“I think Paul Tierney’s tried to be too clever. He’s guessed it wrongly.“Sterling is always offside [in this incident].“It doesn’t necessarily mean being in an offside position you are committing an offence, its when you become involved in active play.“For me, that met the criteria yesterday and Raheem Sterling should have been flagged offside.”
