Maguire's handball goal stands because Greaves touched it last (MUN 5–2 IPS, 56')

Matchweek 2 · Sunday 30 August · Referee Craig Pawson · VAR Jarred Gillett

At 1-1, Harry Maguire charged down a Chuba Akpom clearance with his arms and shot. The ball went in off Jacob Greaves' ankle. Because Maguire was not the immediate scorer, his accidental handball could not be punished, so the goal stood. It was correct under the Laws but widely criticised. The KMI panel backed the call 4-1: Maguire's arms were within his bodyline, so the contact was accidental, and he was not the goalscorer.
