The law places the responsibility of what constitutes deliberate handball on the referee and the linesmen.

David Elleray: "Referees look at two specifics - did the hand or arm go towards the ball or in a manner which would block the ball, or is the hand in a position where it would not normally be? ...The challenging decisions are if the defending player spreads their arms to make themselves bigger. ...If the ball hits the arm then the referee must decide whether this action was to deliberately block the ball or whether the player has raised their arms to protect themselves - especially if the ball is hit at speed."

Sissoko's arm was raised in an unnatural position and it wasn't to protect himself, therefore, the referee was correct to award a penalty.

But it hit his chest first...

I'll admit that I'm biased. I'll watch the replay at half time.

I would not have started with Harry....my semi final hat trick hero would have earned his starting place, Kane as a super sub.....let's hope Poch proves me wrong.
