Something of a record this weekend, Villarreal’s Bakambu having no less than three goals against Málaga ruled out for offside by referee Estrada Fernández. All of his decisions appeared correct though, even if the striker was not too happy about it! Elsewhere there was much debate in the TV studio about whether a possible hand-ball by Sevilla’s Lenglet in the Nou Camp was “invasive” or “evasive”. Not a distinction we are particularly familiar with, but referee González González clearly thought it was “evasive” (if we understand the terminology correctly!), and decided therefore to turn down Barcelona’s appeal.
