Funny that they call it 'Leyton Orient Goal' rather the official 'Own Goal' it has been classed as

Objectively, I don't think Mitoma has a chance of winning that.
What I noticed watching it back, though, was the assist for the assist from Caicedo. If he doesn't fall down like a sack of spuds, instead of the ball coming off his back, it goes to Gusto who, one assumes, would hoof it away. Thanks Agent Moises

Because it was truly glorious, and shall forever be remembered as. Anyway, like others, I don’t think ours stands a chance against some other absolute crackers.

The second Birmingham goal would get my vote.
Depends if the Japanese fans vote.

For whom? Mitoma or Iwata?

Was it hand ball? Maresca still bleating about it
No, hit his arm off the rebound from a shot, never a hand ball. He could not of avoided it if tried.
That’s not the test in law though according to Walton

Link seems to be broken, at least for me.
I was curious about this, and dubious that football.london was a fully impartial source... Looking it up, using ChatGBT (so hallucinations not impossible), Walton appears to be speaking bollocks.That’s not the test in law though according to Walton

"IFAB changed this rule in 2021: If an accidental handball occurs but the player does not immediately score or assist a goal, play continues."
Specifically only if Lamptey had either scored directly or directly assisted the goal would it have been called back, even with VAR.
I’ve heard a few ‘expert’ refs (or ex refs) over the last few days talk about it…..pretty telling that there’s no consistent answer.

Exactly.
If Lamptey had scored following that handball then yes, accidental or not, by the current laws it should be ruled out.
But Lamptey didn't score, and Chelsea still had chances to clear before Rutter floated it to Mitoma for the goal. It was the correct interpretation, laws were applied properly.
PS: Veltman was also bang to rights for that dopey handball Everton pen, so I'm not entirely myopic.
