In the second freeze frame, AR2 was standing even with the keeper instead of second to the last defender. Did not see AR2 even with the second to the last defender (white #13) in the next 2 frames either.
ReplyDeleteThank you Anon; a good spot. Yes, AR2 is not quite in synch with the play. This could have been potentially critical had there been an offside call to make.
