Ball Wasn't Over - Grant

Sheffield Wednesday keeper Lee Grant has said that in his opinion, Leon Best's header in stoppage time in the first half did not fully cross the line.

Speaking to the Sheffield Wednesday official website, Grant said: "The ball was on the line when I stopped it but I was behind the line by quite some way, so it may have looked as if the ball has to be over the line.

"In my opinion, it didn't cross the line, but it was extremely close. I don't think the referee or the linesman could say it was definitely over the line because it was that tight.

"Part of the ball may have been over but the whole of the ball has to cross the line as far as I'm aware."
