If anyone says "offside is offside" they are getting blocked.

John: It used to be the ref might get a few little things wrong, and you'd get over it because it's a human mistake. Now we have scrutinizing pictures to the millimetre, and still making the mistake. This isn't what offside is meant for. Killing the game

RagnarThor: VAR showing how awful and useless it really is. Another reason they have still got it very wrong. It’s destroying the game with yet another ridiculous decision

Leeds have been applying the pressure at the start of this second half.

Defender Robin Koch is up for another corner but cannot get a shot away with the ball loose in the area.

Illan Meslier barely getting off the ground, looking at that pic.

It's past him before he can react.

Some stills of a free-kick are better than others.

What a goal...

Eberechi Eze looking for a second but cannot get enough bend on the strike from outside the box.

Couple of corners for Leeds and maybe Pascal Struijk should do better as he leaps to meet Jack Harrison's delivery but nods wide from eight yards out.

Hah, Upson ain't wrong.

A skill you would teach a young attacker to indicate where they want the ball, to gesture towards putting the ball in behind, you're running the risk of the sleeve of your shirt being ruled offside by an inch or two and that's what we're focusing on is it?

I can't believe we're talking about it.

Palace conceded a free-kick deep in the Leeds half and one of the home coaches bellows, "Stand on it Jordan, STAND ON IT!"

Leeds United have lost all 35 Premier League games when trailing by two or goals at half time.

More of the same please.

Off we go.

Leeds change at the interval.

Helder Costa off, Raphinha on.

Everton

Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti speaking to BBC Sport: "We have to stabilise the defence, this is for sure, but it is not a problem individually - it is collective work and this is absolutely normal.

"It is fortunate that there is an international break This was a really difficult, bad period for us and I hope that is finished. I hope we can come back from the international break in the way we started this season.

"It was not an easy game for sure. But I think second half we had a good quality of football."

On Jordan Pickford's return to the starting side: "I'm going to rotate some games - but I think it is not a problem for me, for Jordan Pickford or for Robin Olsen."

Manchester United

Manchester United manger Ole Gunnar Solskjaer speaking to BBC Sport: "We were set up to fail. How can you defend that with the games we have got. We are in the Champions League- try to help us out. We have lost players through injury today because of the demands today. Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford. All I want to talk about is the character of the boys, they were set up to fail.

"Of course you're happy with the win. I said before the game I would talk about this. How in these times can you not think about the players. We are in the Champions League, help us out. Put us on the Sunday, we have lost players today - why are we not playing on Sunday night? There's no common sense."

On Bruno Fernandes: "He wasn't going to let people enjoy us losing today. He's a great character, like everyone else. You saw the determination in the team, they are absolutely on their knees towards the end because they're tired of course."

On Edinson Cavani's first goal: "Very happy for him. Brilliant to get that first goal, I know it takes the pressure off your shoulders. Hopefully he gets time for the national team and comes back sharp again."

Manchester United

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes to BBC Sport: "The point is winning the game. [I set up Edinson Cavani because] for a striker it is important to score for his confidence, he will be important for us and the first goal will give him confidence.

"I don't need to think about a hat-trick, I need to think about the future.

"Every game is important, we are not good in the league so these three points are important. We have a game in hand so we can go closer to the top of the table. We are not the best team now, and we are not the worst team after Istanbul.

"We will get better if we do the right things."

A quick look at the rest of the reaction from the early game...

Right from the off Leeds have played with a purpose and belief that they can win this game. What's interesting is that their body language doesn't change if they concede a goal they kick on, they go again. I love that about Leeds - it's something as a player I used to try and focus on. If I made a mistake I would want someone to walk into the stadium and not know it's happened by looking at my body language or posture. That's what you can say about this Leeds team, they still look capable of winning this game.

Final Score

Here's what those on Final Score made of Patrick Bamford's goal which was ruled out for offside...

Poor defending, questionable goalkeeping, armpit offsides.

2020 summed up in that frantic half of football.
