Contact with the ball is not required to cause movement.
It is a shame that this was handled so poorly. The call should have been made as soon as the replay was reviewed, rather than creating a dark cloud.
Never the less, it was great to see him finally win.

Good and reasonable assessment Nowadays people seem to like to be outraged or completely upset by the slightest things.
