Why Brentford goal was not disallowed by VAR after Everton offside confusion
Mathias Jensen's first-half equaliser against Everton was rightly allowed to stand despite Sky Sports showing the wrong frame when reviewing Yoane Wissa's involvement in the move.
The Blues made a strong start to the evening kick-off in West London, with Abdoulaye Doucoure opening the scoring after six minutes when he skillfully dispatched a James Tarkowski flick-on from close range.
After 28 minutes, though, the home side restored parity when Jensen drilled his angled effort into the far corner and past Jordan Pickford following a disguised through-ball from team-mate Vitaly Janelt.
However, for those watching on Sky Sports, there was plenty of confusion centring the equaliser as one frame appeared to show Wissa taking up an offside position. However, the ECHO understands that the wrong frame was shown on the broadcast and Wissa clearly onside when he eventually received the ball from Bryan Mbeumo and later charged at Jarrod Branthwaite.

Victory at the G-Tech Community Stadium on Saturday could take Everton as high as 15th in the Premier League table.
