Yes but he’s not offside at that point - only when N’didi headers it is offside and interfering then an issue - nothing before it… but yes, it’s a risky thing to do and it’s one of those really that’s down to a bit of interpretation but think we got a bit lucky there tbh.

Yeah agree it's risky to rely on ref/lino's interpretation.

MOTD implied the only interference was being in the keeper's eye line.
That clearly isn't the case. Barnes is there to increase the chance of winning the header and then also to ensure the keeper is on/close to the line making the goal bigger.
