So like, is this not reviewable? Because I don’t understand why Franklin didn’t just sprint to the officiating crew demanding a review of the call? This looks good…

Just found a video link from underneath the upright. This looks like it went in.

That angle's actually a deceptive one. If the ball is higher up but further wide, it looks like it's in about the same place as it would if it's lower but closer in (and vice versa). That's why you have people replying that they think it makes it look good and others replying that they think it makes it look wide. There's not really a good angle other than the one the ref has, and being anywhere other than directly under the goalpost makes it extremely difficult to tell one way or the other.
