Isn't there some weird rule about the goalkeeper not being the last man?
But he's not the last man, there's another player there. I think it was Euro 2016, may 2014 World Cup, someone was played onside by a player behind the goal line.

If the attacker is beyond the Goalkeeper then there has to be two outfield players ahead or in line for the attacker to be onside
In this case he's not so should be onside as its the normal scenario surely
Thanks. Couldn't remember the exact rule. It does seem like a really bizarre and pointless one.
It's neither bizarre nor pointless. The rule is there has to be two of the defending side between the attacking player and the goal. You'd normally expect that to be an outfield player and the 'keeper. If one of those isn't the goalkeeper then obviously it has to be two outfield players.
