Referees' chief Howard Webb has insisted there was "conclusive" evidence to disallow Nottingham Forest's goal against Tottenham Hotspur for handball by Neco Williams.
The Forest defender bundled the ball home in the 67th minute but video assistant referee Peter Bankes stepped in to rule out the goal for accidental handball.
It was a controversial incident with Williams and Forest manager Oliver Glasner adamant after the 0-0 draw that there was no proof the ball touched an arm.
"I've seen the images and the replays and at not one moment did I think I handballed it," Williams told Sky Sports.
But running through the incident on Match Officials Mic'd Up, Webb backed the decision to disallow the goal.
"This is not about clear and obvious. It's about a matter of fact," said Webb.
"The VAR looks at it, initially you can hear that he's not conclusive. He doesn't feel it's quite there.
"But then when he slows it down to an appropriate pace and gets the right angle, you can see that the ball clearly and conclusively hits the right arm. You see the sleeve move.
"It's clear. It's conclusive, and the goal has to be disallowed.
"Harsh on Neco Williams, but the officials have no choice."
