If the ball hits the defenders arm then it's not a penalty because it was accidental. If the ball hit Laporte's arm then the goal has to be ruled out because even though accidental, it enabled City to score.
Which is why I've been banging on here all afternoon that where is the proof it hit anyone's arm? In cricket, tennis they have all sort to prove it. In football we just have opinion with possible hidden agendas.
I didn’t think accidental was even a word any more in this context. Accidental or not - it doesn’t matter; it’s irrelevant.
Happy to be corrected if I’m wrong.
