"The defending quality doesn't even matter, that level of control is absolutely astounding regardless," added Omnipotent Mont under the video.
"Good bit of refereeing, I think. The rule is the whole of the ball over the whole of the line IIRC. That must have been close to out of play, though," adds Craig Ross.
