Good one for a training course and good spot from the VAR - not sure I’ve seen an offside before where the offside player has been so clearly “behind” the team-mate who played the ball (though ahead of the ball).

Unless an AR has x-ray vision very difficult decision for them to give, so I suspect it's highly unlikely the goal would be disallowed without VAR.

Twice in the first half Robertson ran from behind Kepa and stood in front of the Chelsea keeper to prevent him from a quick release. The 2nd time Michael Oliver wasn't having any of it and awarded a free kick. Robertson was also lucky to get away without an early yellow card after a fairly agricultural hack.
