Any views on the incident on Monday?
A penalty was given to Inter for a foul but referee then alerted by VAR that the ball hit hand of attacker in build-up so penalty decision overturned after referee viewed monitor and defensive free-kick given instead.
Was this correct? If we take the handling to be accidental then we go on to the accidental attacking handball clause that creates a goal scoring opportunity, but did this really do that?
Some might argue that a penalty is the goal-scoring opportunity but I'd argue the foul created that rather than the attacking handball. I remember Manchester united got a penalty after an accidental handball earlier in the season against Leicester and it was said no goal-scoring opportunity had been immediately created.
Here's the incident at about 5.10 here -
