As the commentary went on, Leo got to his feet with a sigh and then turned back to find his mates arguing still with the referee now that the ball was out of play.
"So what was that?" Whatmough said as he stepped out to meet the referee, but the verdict was the same.
"But we all saw it! At least check the VAR," Reyes suggested, but there was no changing his mind.

What was done was already done.
Wigan had been furious at one end, and now they had to defend at the other.
Saka took the corner short towards the near post, where Havertz had already stepped into the space, and it looked like they would concede again, but Amos stayed alert.
He had not been distracted by the protests or the referee's decision.
His eyes remained fixed on the ball as he adjusted his position inside the six-yard box, and he watched it all as Havertz swung through it.
