Mike Dean has raised doubts about the validity of Casemiro’s goal for Manchester United against Nottingham Forest, accusing the assistant referee of making a “guess” in his decision-making.
The controversial goal came during the first half of the match at the City Ground, with Casemiro scoring with a powerful header to put the Red Devils ahead. However, the circumstances surrounding the goal were mired in chaos, as the decision to award a corner, from which the goal stemmed, was heavily disputed.
The controversy arose from the assistant referee’s decision to award Man United a corner after it was believed that Nicolo Savona had allowed the ball to go out of play. Replays, however, indicated that the ball had not crossed the line, calling into question the assistant referee’s judgment.
Mike Dean weighed in on the situation, pointing out the limitations faced by officials when trying to make calls in such situations. Despite the contentious nature of the goal, Man United fans celebrated Casemiro’s impressive third goal of the season, continuing his recent run of good form.
The Tricky Trees managed to turn the tide in the second half, with goals from Morgan Gibbs-White and Savona giving them the lead, much to the frustration of Man United supporters. The match was a rollercoaster of emotions for both sets of fans, with controversy and drama playing a significant role in the outcome of the game.
