'It wasn't a handball': Joleon Lescott insists it was the correct decision to allow Michail Antonio's wonder goal against Manchester City to stand despite appeals from Guardiola's men

Joleon Lescott has insisted it was the correct decision to allow Michail Antonio's sensational overhead kick to stand despite Manchester City players' animated appeals for a handball in the build-up.

West Ham's Tomas Soucek appeared to handle before teeing up Jarrod Bowen to cross for Antonio, who converted acrobatically.

VAR looked closely at the incident in the build-up to the goal but deemed that no infringement had been made by Soucek.
