I was confused at first because both Burn and the defender were behind the goal line and I thought you can't be offside for being more behind the line than the defender because the line is the line. But then I realised the keeper's position and remembered the rule is 2 players need to play you onside.

Got. Cheers. Yes - always assume its the last man coz the keepers nearly always nearer the goal. But, youre right, its 2 players whether its the keeper or not.
