Historic moments in the Premier League

In the 28th minute, when Crystal Palace was leading 2-0, Eberechi Eze escaped and scored the third goal against Ederson. However, the semi-automatic offside technology intervened and determined that the away team's player was offside.

Graphics from the Premier League clearly show that Eze's shin and below are higher than the last defender on the Man City side. Accordingly, the "Blue Eagles" goal was not recognized.

This is the first time in Premier League history that semi-automatic offside technology has been used to determine whether a goal is valid or not.

Previously, the Premier League organizers announced the use of SAOT in the last 6 rounds. The match between Man City and Crystal Palace was the first match.

The semi-automatic offside technology decision became the turning point, helping Man City regain their spirit and create a spectacular comeback. In the rest of the match, the defending champions scored 5 goals in a row, thereby ending the match with a 5-2 victory.

Premier League Technical Director Tony Scholes believes SAOT will help shorten the time it takes to make offside decisions, cutting at least 30 seconds from the current process. In addition, FIFA is also supporting the league to develop an automatic offside signal feature without the need for an assistant referee to raise his flag.

"SAOT will automate key elements of offside decisions to support VAR, while providing a more intuitive visual experience for fans in stadiums and on television. The technology maintains fairness in the decision-making process, while improving speed, efficiency and consistency," the Premier League said in a statement.
