Fans of Manchester United\u2019s women\u2019s team have been left fuming after a goal was controversially ruled out.<\/p>\n
United have been facing City in the Manchester derby at Old Trafford in the Women\u2019s Super League, with the home side taking the lead through Katie Zelem\u2019s 21st minute penalty. United then thought they had a second when Geyse found the net, only for the goal to be disallowed, with the officials ruling that the ball had gone out of play in build-up. <\/p>\n
United fans were first unhappy that the goal hadn\u2019t been given, but also bemused as to why a corner wasn\u2019t given as ball was heading out via a challenge from City defender Alanna Kennedy.<\/p>\n

One mused: \u201cIf Geyse doesn't control the ball before it\u2019s \u2018out\u2019 then surely it's a corner, not a goal kick? Perfectly good goal either way and no one was offside.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another said: \u201cGeyse has a second United goal ruled out for the ball going of play, I really don\u2019t think it looked fully over the line.\u201d A third added: \u201cIt was too obvious to ignore, but no reason to disallow Geyse\u2019s goal, and some of the offside calls are a bit questionable.\u201d<\/p>\n

A fourth added: \u201cFeel for Geyse, she's been class & that seemed a certain goal to me.\u201d A fifth pointed out: \u201cCan someone explain why – if the ball was out for the Geyse goal – we didn\u2019t get a corner? I don\u2019t understand the rule applied there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another fan raged: \u201cThat ball was never out. Robbed.\u201d A seventh declared: \u201cThat ball by Geyse wasn't out of the line and I will die on that hill.\u201d<\/p>\n
It proved to be a key moment in the contest as City hit back to take a 3-1 lead. Jill Rooard and Lauren Hemp scored in quick succession before the break while Khadija Shaw added the third 10 minutes into the second half.<\/p>\n
