Entering the penalty area after a goal is scored

Alison Hitchen

What happens in the event the attacker scores but their momentum carries them into the area? Is it a different outcome if the ball crosses the goal line before they infringe the area? Thanks

    Hi Ali, thank you for your query. Please see below response from the FA Intermediary Referee Development Panel:

    As per Law 10, “a goal is scored when the whole of the ball passes over the goal line, between the goalposts and under the crossbar, provided that no offence has been committed by the team scoring the goal.”

    Subsequently the goal would be disallowed as the attacking player has entered the penalty area. The restart is a goal clearance.

    Momentum is not a factor when making decisions in this matter.
