Disgusted with that decision last night.
Here is what Keith Hackett, former PGMOL chief says:
“When you actually review the incident, which VAR has the ability to do, you could see that the defender had his arms by his side, wasn’t making his body shape bigger, and there was no movement of hand or arm towards the ball.

“Also, the ball had deflected on its way. At the time the ball was being struck, he was in a vertical position, beginning to lean to one side. This cannot surely be judged as handball.

“If it is, where is the game going? It’s an awful decision, and it’s the major talking point for a game which probably should have ended in a draw.”
