New Premier League Offside Rule 2015

Not a massive change but still an important one was made to the
present set of offside rules in English football.

According to the new offside rule , if players stand in an offside
position so long and even if they are not actively involved in the
play, it will be still considered as an offside. To explain it more
clearly, if a player has a shot on goal, and if one of his
teammates in offside position makes a move for the ball, the goal
will be disallowed even if he makes no contact with the ball.

This new offside rule will prevent goals like Jaun Mata’s free kick
goal vs Stoke City where Marcos Rojo who was in an offside
position, went for the ball and missed it and eventually, the ball
landed in the net and the goal was awarded.
