A player is in an offside position if three conditions are met: first, the player must be in the opposing team's half of the field. Second, the player must be in front of the ball. And third, there must be fewer than two opposing players between him and the opposing goal line, with the goalkeeper counting as an opposing player for these purposes.
Chelsea v Liverpool : Torres squared the ball to Willian to make 2-0. It was actually a forward pass. Why was Willian not offside ?
Andy,
its the second condition that was not met.
The ball went forwards but the receiver was behind the ball when the ball was played to him.
Those Chelsea forwards sure know the rules.
