The problem with offside as you quoted is that Eriksen played a poor backpass off of Bernardo Silva. Silva had no intent on playing the ball to Aguero. If Silva had shot, the ball deflected off Vertonghen and fell to Aguero in his position, he would be ruled offside because Silva was playing the ball, despite the deflection. How does the deflection suddenly consist of "playing the ball" per Law 11?
