Jarrad Branthwaite's crucial Everton goal in Wednesday's huge 2-0 win over cross-city rivals Liverpool might not have been allowed under a new rule set to come into play next season.
The Toffees enjoyed one of Goodison Park's greatest evenings in recent memory by not only securing a victory that makes it virtually impossible for them to get relegated, but additionally dealing an almost-fatal blow to Liverpool's title hopes.
Jurgen Klopp's side struggled in the heated atmosphere and produced an uncharacteristically poor performance in the Liverpool manager's final Merseyside derby.
Goals from Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin either side of half-time were enough to complete a resounding victory over a Liverpool side now three points adrift of Premier League leaders, Arsenal.
However, the Toffees' might not have been celebrating Branthwaite's goal if it had been scored next season when new technology is set to be brought in to assist VAR officials with offside calls.
