The offside is an instinctive gesture, at no time a deliberate gesture and the rule says playing deliberately.

Is the Russian defender playing it deliberately here? It's the debate. For me it's not a bad clearance, so in my opinion it's offside,

but it's still highly debatable

Lukaku's illegal position would be enabled by the arrival of the ball from a Russian footballer
