You have to pose yourself the same questions Kavanagh will have asked himself at the pitchside monitor.
Chris Kavanagh was completely correct in making sure that John Stones' winner stood
Firstly, was Silva blocking Sa’s line of vision? The answer is no, because when you see the freeze frame, he’s dived out of the way to make sure of that. Secondly, does Silva impact Sa’s ability to play the ball at the precise moment that Stones makes contact?
Again, the answer is no, as the header goes straight through the goalkeeper. It was telling that there were no protests from Sa or any Wolves players.
It was only once Gary O’Neil and his coaching staff had watched the replay that they hoped to find a reason — any reason — to get the goal disallowed.
