So who scored the equaliser....

[Niceguyeddie]

It is quite clearly not Mousset's goal. At all.

Thanks for clearing that up

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Mousset never touched it.

Don't even know how there was any debate.

 

[guancheblade]

Depends what footage seen, but from the sky footage I have seen Mousset doesn’t seem to get any touch at all.
Great cross from Robinson, that deflected off the shinpad of bombscare.
Would like to see a Hawkeye style tracking of that cross, I reckon it might well have gone in even if it hadn’t been touched.
The players attacking the near post had rooted the keeper, so if they had missed it completely I reckon it would have skipped through and in direct from the cross as it was bending in nicely.

Get the snick-o-meter on it

 

[JOEYDEE]

That's Robinson's goal,don't think the touch off Zouma altered the direction much at all...

 

[PaulHalfway]

Yes

 

[Akinbiyi]

Mousset touched it
This angle makes it very clear

Who it comes off last however is a different debate
Personally I'd give it Moose, Zouma ain't gonna want an OG on his name and even if not Mousset it can be given to Robinson as it was on target anyway

 

[bypassblade]

Akinbiyi that is the angle I Iooked at when I thought Moose scored, on this evidence the goal is his but he'll score others

I've actually changed my mind after seeing this, looks like its Moose's toe

 

[Woodys Thunderbolt]

Comes off Zouma and hits Moose's toe end, Moose's goal, GET IN.

 

[McGrath]

Moose must have touched it, as he deflected the ball enough to prevent Zouma from blocking it.

I thought the rule was that if the player touches and it were going in, then it's classed as a goal to the attacking team, and not an own goal.

 

[Tony]

Why not give it to Moose. It'll make both him and Zouma happy and no harm done. Plus it'll add a million to Mooses value.

Exactly, so even if he DIDN'T surely it's Robinsons and then Robbo has 2 goals at Chelsea on his CV?

Pause at 2:47, press . to move forward frame by frame. You can pinpoint the moment Mousset misses and the defender touches it.

See my above post. The point it looks like Mousset has touched it it has already gone past him and off Zouma's leg. He never touches it.

Didn’t hear that at the time because of all the noise made by several hundred coffee cups being crushed

That confirms to me that it’s Mousset’s goal. Zouma tries to clear and it comes off the toe of the Moose

 

[dc_blade]

Its an optical illusion on the video Akinbiyi posted. It looks like the ball bounces off Zouma’s shin and onto Mousset’s toe, but actually the ball is already past Mousset and on its way into the net. Own goal.

It's on target then and it's Robinson's goal? It's only usually an OG if it's going off target in the first place before the defender re-directs it?

Yep, watch it from the other angle and you can see quite clearly that once Zouma hits it it's not even close to Mousset getting a touch.

Good question. I don’t know how they decide that. Is it definitely on target?

I think if Moose hadn't have got a touch, then Zouma would have blocked Robinsons cross. Moose changed the trajectory of the cross and therefore it just clipped Zoumas shin instead.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Starting to get a little bit JFK, Lee Harvey Oswald and the Grassy Knoll. To be honest I couldn’t give a flying fuck so long as we’ve scored.

So you're saying that it hit Moose before hitting Zouma? That's a new one at least, everyone else seems to be saying that it hits Zouma and then hits Moose (all without a change of direction on the ball apparently )

As others have said, the GIF going around is an illusion. By the time that Moose's foot gets there it's already gone past him, which is difficult to see on a 2D viewing.

The main thing that give sit away is that Moose hasn't had it changed to be his goal. If he'd just scored his first Premiership goal for his new team he'd be shouting about it, the £10k goal bonus he'd be due would also play a part as well

 

[dazzlingblade]

someone slowed it down and it's definitely Mousetts, look closely from the angle behind the goal. You can clearly see it boucing off the shin of Zouma's Shin onto the bottom of Mousetts foot. This is not an opinion by the way. It's fact. It's Mousetts, he's been robbed

Yep definitely Zouma onto mousse's shin on the slow mo

 

[PokerBlade]

Seriously, people, you can literally watch it frame by frame on YouTube from multiple angles. Pause it, hit . to go forward and , to go back.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Says it all when people are resorting to a compressed, 1.3 frames per second, low resolution GIF as evidence.

I think I'll stick with the 1080p super slow motion replay on my 50 inch TV.

 

[dc_blade]

Changed my mind: freeze frame reveals he definitely got a touch.

Need to examine the Zapzouma Film closely.

 

[Pinchy]

Moose’s Magic Bullet.

 

[Grappler]

Well, if it's an own goal, then great credit to Robinson for a superb cross into the box, and applause to the Moose, because with his build and pace, it must be like having a high speed tank breathing down your neck (for Zouma), and well done to big John Egan, who would have headed it in, anyway, at the far post.
