Team A player takes a throw-in. The ball enters the field of play, deflects off a defender (Team B) and goes to an attacker (Team A) who was in an offside position at the moment the throw-in was taken. What is the correct decision?

Question

Accepted Answer

The referee allows play to continue as a player cannot be offside from a throw-in and, after the throw-in was taken, the ball was not touched or played by any Team A player (until it reached the attacker).
