He was offside regardless

Being in an offside position isn’t necessarily an offence though. At least flagging once play has stopped shows there’s some doubt about the goal and that it needs to be checked, like with VAR in the prem

Delaying the flag for offside

This is new for the 2020/21 Premier League. When an immediate goalscoring opportunity is likely to occur, the assistant referee will keep their flag down if they think there is an offside until the passage of play is completed.

Once a goal is scored or the chance is gone, the assistant will raise the flag to indicate the initial offence.

If a goal is scored, the VAR will review the offside call.
