I get what you mean but there is an argument for it going too far. The whole point of the rule is to stop attackers gaining an unfair advantage by standing nearer to the goal than a defender. In the case of this goal the players were around 99% level. The only reason the striker had an advantage was due to the quality of the ball in, nothing to do with his centimetre closer to the line.
I'd like to see a trail of something similar to the Umpire's Call rule in cricket VAR technology.

I can't help but think someone random will win the league and a fairly big club may go down. The barely non-existent pre-season (United had about 1 week) seems to be causing some crazy games and I can see teams struggling to name 11 first-team players by the end of the season as with no pre-season and so many games to fit in players are going to be dropping like flies

Anyone see West Ham's stunning comeback against Spurs. 3-0 down after 16 minutes and get the draw. Lanzini wonder strike with the last kick of the game. What a match!
Good day, eh, @Interested Bystander ? -

That's where the 'Umpire's Call' rule would come into play. It allows for a certain margin of play either way.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand... -

VAR was a farce in this game.
Pickford should have been sent off, a tackle round the knee be it clumsy or not is a potential career ending tackle. The fact VAR looked at it suggested that if it was not offside it would be a penalty, because it was offside the penalty wasn't given but the tackle was extremely dangerous.
As for the offside, if it takes you two minutes to work out if it is or isn't offside on a video feed that is known to have a margin of error then you go with the call on the field.
In Cricket, Rugby, American Football who have all had TV reviews for far longer than football they go with the decision on the field unless there is clear evidence that the ruling on the field was wrong and there are far less headlines from wrong decisions on that basis.
VAR is being overused, they are going looking for things and in many ways taking the decisions from the referee and instead of being a Virtual Assistant Referee, the referee on the pitch is the assistant whilst VAR should be renamed VR, Virtual Referee, as it is the guy in the trailer who is actually refereeing the game.
