Marc Guehi howler gifts Everton goal after VAR twist
Marc Guehi has made one of the worst howlers you’ll see as he gifts a goal to Everton, who are now level.
A through ball is played for Thierno Barry, who in an offside position when the ball is played.
But Geuhi, who is total control of his actions, the decides to back pass the ball to the keeper at which point the attacker goes from offside to an onside position.
Barry intercepts the pass and finishes it past Donnarumma to make it 1-1.
The goal is initially disallowed as offside but after a VAR check, the referee’s decision is overturned and the goal stands.

And eight minutes later, another mistake at the back leads to another Everton goal.
Merlin Rohl beats Mateo Kovacic and appears to take a shot which deflects and falls kindly to Thierno Barry to tap home his second of the night and Everton’s third.
