I think about 3 or 4 seconds earlier, one of the players (may have been Gordon) was in an offside position, but didn't go for the ball. I presume they were checking that phase.
Whatever the reason, fortunately they got it right on this occassion.

Linesman on Gordon's side waved his flag. What do they teach these lads. Awful not even close.
yep, same linesman in the first half

Linesmen will always stick their flag up now if there is even a possibility of offside as a courtesy reminder to everyone that every goal is scrutinized regardless - that is what VAR has done to the game.
The Linesman is basically a ceromonial position these days.

Think for every goal that is scored VAR has to do those checks hence why even after a goal is validly scored the referee will not allow a quick restart until he has been given the all clear by the var official first which is why they always have their hand on their ear on the halfway line

It took a split second to see it was onside, yet VAR make a drama out of it to make it seem like they are doing their work, or trying to work a way to not give it

Good point there. Yes, they now think have a 'get out of jail free' card and maybe are becoming a bit too lax.

Var gets it right in our favor and we still have to complain
Where does the photo show that ?
Far got Gray's goal offside wrong & backed the assistant Referee it robbed us of two vital points .....

Think Zaha in the first half was even clearer onside. Linesman must have had a few too many the night before.
Unless it is a very slow shutter speed of 3 to 4 seconds, I don't think it will.

Sat in the upper bullens in where the away allocation is when they take the full amount, literally clear as day that he was onside. The only thing that was a doubt was whether Gordon was goalside of the keeper when the shot came in, which felt unlikely. In general I wasn't fussed about it going to VAR as I was that sure he was onside. Madness that the lino gave it as offside in the first place.

He's actually not. If you look at the pic in the first post he's about 2 yards deeper than he should be. He should be in line with the last Palace defender so cannot actually make a proper decision.
So he was in the wrong position and then gave a wrong decision, as well as being wrong about Zaha in the first half.
Var done its job perfectly here, the score staying at 1-0 could have let Palace get back in the game rather than being 2-0 down.
