A post on Twitter appears to show that the ball was indeed cleared off the Port Vale goaline during a goal attempt in the 0-0 game between Bolton Wanderers and Port Vale on Saturday.
The effort has prompted some debate online after the referee disallowed the effort despite furious protests from Bolton players. After the game, Bolton striker Amadou Bakayoko appearing to query the disallowed effort on Twitter.
He posted:

However, the angle of the photo used in his tweet may be deceptive, despite several Bolton supporters saying that the ball was “several feet” over the line.
This video from another angle appears to show that the ball never fully crossed the line before Port Vale defender Nathan Smith managed to clear it.

No doubt the debate will continue but as for the match itself – that finished in a goalless draw.
