I thought he hit the ball out with his hand?
The FIFA definition of handball is:
“Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with his hand or arm:"
So he had to move his hand deliberately to handle the ball. IMO he didn't but whatever.
By that definition a player could wander around or stand on tge goal line with his arms out but unintentionally handling the ball
But he's deliberately putting his hand in an area where he's obstructing Evra's chance to head at goal and is running a real risk that the ball might hit his hand.The FIFA definition of handball is:
