Sergio Aguero has just had this disallowed for handball....

I can't make my mind up, he'd headed the ball and it was going in but it hit his hand. It just doesn't look right. Seems like he was caught by the player sliding in and lost his balance.

Looks deliberate. Did he think it was going past the near post I wonder.

Was he cautioned also?

Was he cautioned also?

I think so!

 

[SM]

Then all is correct!

Handball all day long. The hand flicks up to make contact with the ball. Very obvious.

Much clearer after watching MOTD. Not sure what he was doing?

I should also add, great spot by the AR (Andy Halliday?).

I don't think he 'lost his balance' - watch the arm, it sort of stopped when it hit the ball, it looks like he just went to slap the ball. If he was losing his balance I think there would be more forward motion from the arm. Given how high the hand was I don't think you can give him the benefit of the doubt here. Looks like a brain explosion, FK + YC for me.

But it is important to highlight that if it was completely accidental then a goal would be correct, even if it wasn't going in initially.
