It was accidental. Obviously he meant to move his arms up but

It is a movement you will see 100 times a game when a throw or corner is being taken and players are trying to make themselves big and get themselves between the oppo player and the ball.

He did not deliberately strike the QPR player and he didn’t hit him in the face either, despite the cheating little sh*t trying to make out that he did.

        The evidence. There does appear to be a inconsistency on which events the League reviewed. (General Chat) - The Gaffer, Dec 11, 11:15:57
