Sorry posted on the wrong thread (match day one) son thinks it was lucky but I disagreed abd thought that he took it well after the ball bounced up. What is the general opinion as to who saw it right right.

That doppy defender Fernandes was lucky to be on the pitch. Disgusting flying airborne challenge from behind on Murray, went straight through him. A completely mandatory red all day long, it was a FILTHY challenge. But as we know too well, Dean plays to his own rules.
Wait till you see it on MOTD. Unbelievable how he escaped with a yellow. It looked horrific live, it looked worse on the replays.

Looking at where Murray met the ball, it looks like the keeper should have got to it, but that was a nasty cross and until the end it looked like it should be met by striker/defender outside the 6 yard box. Keeper could have been better positioned to go for it, but once Knocky hit it he was a bit stuck.Their goalkeeper stayed on his line he should have taken the ball or punched it away.
What do you mean 'after the ball bounced up'? It didn't bounce.Sorry posted on the wrong thread (match day one) son thinks it was lucky but I disagreed and thought that he took it well after the ball bounced up.
TBH, I think it's such a great cross, that the defender couldn't do anything with it if he'd tried.
(And neither could Murray!)
This. The cross had too much pace on it for both the keeper and defender to reach it. It was pretty much inch perfect.
@MouldyBoots is correct about shite Murray. Any decent striker would have used their feet or head.
We were in row g of north lower and it seemed an age before anyone even knew we scored. Was all abit surreal, took the upper stand to react to realise it had actually gone in....for me anyway
It was one of the most delayed reaction goal celebrations I have ever seen watching The Albion. Most of us didn't realise we had scored and Mike Dean actually allowed it to stand.We were in row F and had much the same experience.
Keep it coming weststander, the defender left it and the job of any striker is to sniff out opportunity and be in the right place when they appear, Murray was there and i have no doubt Tomer would have been also, yet another cracking ball put in by Knockaert. As much as the stats show 4 goals for Murray 3 were delivered by pinpoint crosses with pace and the other a pen, what more could any striker ask for.
That's OK then, we're getting one of those in January I'm sure!Lucky goal. A £100 million striker would have trapped it with his left, screwed it back, taken on the defender again, tapped it to his right and nutmeged the keeper.
