You mean the Mann supporters can't agree.

Everyone else including that news channel seem to think it is a goal.
And say what you will about the refs, but they look to have got it right.

And you don't even need the photo or instant replay. Just think of the trajectory of the ball. Hits the post then comes down towards the back of the goal and hits the ground then bounces back up out of the goal. If the ball didn't go into the goal it would bounce differently.

It would have hit the post and came down away from the back of the goal and towards the field of play.

BTW I downloaded the 1st video and watched in slow motion and it is clear the ball hits post and takes an angle towards the back of the net not to the front and out of the goal.
