Controversial incident in the Chelsea vs Brentford match: João Pedro's goal was initially disallowed but then stood

In the Premier League’s Matchweek 22 clash between Chelsea and Brentford, the referee faced a tough call. The Londoners’ striker João Pedro broke the deadlock in the 26th minute.

Details: Initially, the referee ruled out the goal for a possible offside, judging that the Brazilian forward was in an offside position at the moment of Enzo Fernández’s pass. As a result, the goal was not counted.
