I just don't see how De Gea's ability to play the ball has been impacted here. His vision has not been compromised and the thing stopping him from reaching it is the deflection off our player and his lack of rubber-like extendo arms.No it's in there.. from the FA website.

Offside offence
A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:
- making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball
Nothing to do with line of sight or vision. He has made an obvious action, and it has impacted De Gea.
I'd be fuming if we had a goal chalked off for it.
