Per the letter of the law, that's a handball, but for an opponent to strike it directly to your hand at such extrememly close distance and that somehow penalize the offensive players fault is ludicrious.

The EPL needs some stringent clarification to their rules book. And how far back into build-ups does VAR re-adjudicate? I remember for Liverpool a VVD possible handball, but it wasn't even looked at for VAR because it was 3+ touches away from the goal, but clearly allowed for VVD to retain possession. It is the inconsistency of what is clear and obvious that seems to be a headache to me
