The Premier League's Key Match Incidents panel believe Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off goal in Liverpool's 3-0 defeat to Manchester City SHOULD have been allowed to stand.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot was incensed following the loss to City. "I think it is obvious and clear the wrong decision has been made," he said. "He [Robertson] didn't interfere at all with what the goalkeeper can do."
Such was the Reds' frustration, they reached out to PGMOL chief Howard Webb to voice their concerns regarding the decision. Webb provided a justification for the ruling this week, acknowledging that Donnarumma saw 'the ball all the way' but that it was 'not unreasonable' for the officials to arrive at the conclusion they did.
Lurkas explanation on Liverpool thread is pretty much as good a summation of what happened and the decision making as I have seen.
I don't think the press covered it very well.
It's hugely subjective, and either decision is defensible.
Tough one to take for Liverpool,

we now need Keith hackett and co telling us why the Slovakia player letting ball go 15 yds out in offside position was effecting play/goalkeeper, but ROBBO 5 yds out doing same wasn't ?

Suggest you read offside law you are offside if you are seeking to gain an advantage Robertson was in an offside position and was seeking to gain an advantage if he wasn't what was doing in the six yard box

Law says being in offside position is not an offence it self but player so positioned when the ball is played by teammate can be judged offside offence of they receive the ball or will become involved in active play or will interfere with an opponent or will gain advantage from being in that position thank you for suggestion to read the law Correct decision Robertson was seeking gain an advantage have a good evening

So much to learn from it, and yes it doesn't set a precedent
There will be more interfering with goals given
And folk will come back to this one, which is why Lurkas explanation on Liverpool thread is worth a read.

It's a tricky one but in this case I thing it was right to be disallowed because it would have been a goal for Liverpool and the more situations where we can disallow Liverpool goals is obviously a good thing.

Similar one today with Murillo's goal. No blocking of keeper's view again either. There was no sudden movement by the offside player but I don't think Alisson had any chance whatsoever of saving it, it was hammered into the corner. You can't impact a 0% chance of saving it. I think Donnarumma had a chance but the ball had moved halfway towards the goal before Robbo started moving. But they still need to change the wording to catch what Robbo did imo.
