I don't think he purposely thought to control the ball with it. It seemed more accidental after being held by the Venezia defender and the ball coming down at height.
It was a brilliant shot, a shame it didn't count.
I agree that he didn’t, I don’t think he was even looking at the ball at the time. However, in the modern day when you know the ball made any contact with your arm before you shoot, it’s almost guaranteed to be ruled out.
He’d be a useful back-up RB if we keep with a back 4 next season, however we also have Savona who could fill that slot and we don’t need two back up RBs (3 if we add Weah to the equation!) and no starter, so we’re struggling.
