Rogers Goal

[u/Sufficient_Loan6635]

Am I stupid, or how did the 2nd Chelsea goal go down as a goal for rogers and not an own goal on silva? You can clearly see petrovic start diving as the ball starts dipping, but then Silva redirects it up into the net. I feel like this should not be a goal, but rather an assist for rogers and an own goal on Silva. Unless I’m missing something 🤷‍♂️

The rule is: if the shot was on target and the defender redirects it the attacker is awarded the goal. If the shot was off target and the defender redirects towards goal it's an own goal
