A handball that gains a man an advantage has to be accepted a foul, regardless of intent or hand position. If not, they should just abolish the rule completely.
The game commentary team were expecting the goal to be ruled out based on precedent and the fact it had obviously touched his hand, but no, ref looked at the monitor and knew disallowing it would have meant Arsenal had no chance of winning the PL..
Other goals throughout the season have been ruled out for similar.
It hit the sleeve line of the jersey which is why it stood.. Line and above dine, below it is handball. Tbh the handball rules chnages that often it is hard to keep up with what is and isn't these days
