How is this not a handball? Rashford heads the ball on target. Semedo blocks it with his arm/hand.

Man United vs Wolves. Rashford heads the ball on target. The keeper does not look like he’s going to be able to save it, Semedo moves to block to ball and the ball strikes his arm stoping the trajectory of ball. Had it of not his his arm, Rashford would have surely scored. The onus should be on the defender to make sure that if he going to block the ball then the make sure he’s done everything possible that it doesn’t strike his hand. The same way a striker cannot score if the ball accidentally strike his hand (we saw that happen last season with Rashford vs Everton I believe) #manutd #rashford #premierleague #football #penalty
