Did you spot it in real time? Kudos if you did, but I didn't and the TV view would be as good as the view he had. It would be so easy to think he got his head to it.
No I had no idea, but the linesman has a much better angle and an unhindered view so he at least has a much better chance of seeing it.

It just shows how difficult their job is. He was probably an inch away from getting his head on it and the ball was moving at pace. If the lino wasn't 100% sure if it was handball he can't flag can he?

Wolves are a solid squad.
Their 3421 is going to cause a lot of problems for team this year. Based on the highlights against Leicester they should have beaten them easily and played well until the final third against Everton.

I totally agree that he shouldn't flag if he isn't certain and that it was very tough to see.

In any case, these situations are why VAR will come in sooner rather than later.

I look forward to Pep blaming the woodwork while picking his nose.
