Williams handball against Spurs was conclusive - Webb
Referees' chief Howard Webb has insisted there was "conclusive" evidence to disallow Nottingham Forest's goal against Tottenham Hotspur for handball by Neco Williams.
Nottingham Forest's Neco Williams claimed that the ball hadn't made contact with his arm before it entered the goal during a 0-0 draw against Tottenham Hotspur. However, video assistant referee Peter Bankes deemed the goal invalid for a handball. Referees chief Howard Webb stated that there was conclusive evidence to disallow the goal, despite Williams and manager Oliver Glasner's insistence that there was no proof the ball touched his arm.
Webb explained that while the initial view might not be conclusive, slowing down the footage at the right angle clearly showed the ball hitting Williams' right arm, confirming the handball.
