No they weren’t

I thought it was outside and therefore a red from my position in the West Upper which meant it was directly in front of me where it happened.
I've just watched the BBC MOTD highlights and it looked the same.
Walking down toward the station after the game a group of Grimsby fans were grumbling that it was as well and they'd seen a replay of it as well.
Based on the evidence I've seen today I'm inclined to go for 'Sanchez got away with one.'

If any part of the ball is 'on' (not physically) the line when he touches the ball then it's inside the box. The camera angles are so shady that it's really difficult to tell but I'd say he got away with it.
Very lucky indeed.
You could see on both the reaction of the striker & Bob that they both immediately knew he had made an oopsie.

How about this one when he first touches the ball. Right foot over line (irrelevant on its own) but ball is in front of his right foot. But maybe not clear and obvious. Still think we got away with that. Still confident we would have won with 10 men.

Either way, it was refreshing to see an opposition team at The Amex merely appeal to the referee in the form of the nearest player doing it, then just get on with it once the VAR nonsense had been completed, rather than surround the officials and hysterically demand a red card whilst implying the referee should also know who they are etc.

I dont think that one clearly shows that the entire ball is out of the area. Inconclusive. I bet if you could swing the camera round so its looking down the line there's every chance a small portion of the ball is still above it.
This is like that Mitoma one from the world cup, some camera angle made it look well out, but others showed it was actually in.

Unless there's some weird camera angle trickery going on, that's a pretty clear red and Sanchez got away with it.

Inconclusive for the purposes of making a VAR decision.
Right, so he definitely handled it outside the box.
Oh. So might not have been outside the box then. A smidgen over the line is not all outside.

I dont get this. How are people looking at this image and seeing it all outside the box? That is the var image that was shown. We didnt get away with one, it was the correct decision, although it was close.

His toe is out of the area, but it doesnt look like the whole ball is ahead of his toe. Certainly 70/80% of the ball is, but if you had the camera in the right position there could very well be a slither of ball still in contact with the line & if its inconclusive you have to stick with the on field decision. It's a tight one, maybe lucky for Sanchez, but the refs/VAR did the right thing.

Yeah looks fine from that angle.
The camera is clearly not even close to being in line with the edge of the box, the camera is closer to the goal, so with the ball in the air it looks further out. Is it possible that the ball is completely outside the area? Yes. Can we be very sure it is? No.
