Nottingham Forest's Neco Williams insisted that the ball had not come off his arm before it went into the goal
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."

A Nottingham Forest supporters' group has written an open letter asking councillors to back expansion plans for its stadium, saying "it is the City Ground's time".
Rushcliffe Borough Council's planning committee will meet on Wednesday to consider applications from the club on proposed changes to the ground.
The Nottingham Forest Supporters' Trust (NFST) urged the authority not to let concerns over transport and supporter movement on matchdays further delay the project.
The applications consist of a bid for full planning permission to redevelop the Peter Taylor Stand and Trent End, as well as for "demolition of existing buildings/structures", and outline planning permission to redevelop the Brian Clough Stand.
Rushcliffe's planning officers have recommended councillors on the committee approve the applications, subject to conditions.
The trust's letter to the committee calls Wednesday's vote a "historic opportunity for our region", adding the message was "clear and overwhelming" from fans in their support of the proposals.
Asif Naidu, NFST chair, said: "Wednesday is a historic opportunity to secure the future of our historic home. We simply have to grasp it.
"The case for approval is incredibly strong. It has clear and widespread support across the region, the club has outgrown the current ground and it is a golden and rare investment opportunity.
"Any concerns over transport and supporter flow, while understandable, can be resolved and are manageable, so they shouldn't be a barrier to giving the project the go-ahead.
"It is the City Ground's time. Let's make history on Wednesday."
Delap 'buzzing' and Cunha 'impressing'published at 16:33 BST 14 September

Nottingham Forest striker Liam Delap, who scored his first goal since his £50m summer move to the club, has been speaking to BBC Radio Nottingham after helping the Reds secure their first victory at Aston Villa in 32 years.
The 23-year-old's clinical finish - his first competitive goal since January - and Igor Jesus' 88th-minute winner also sealed Oliver Glasner's first win of the season as head coach.
"I'm buzzing," Delap said. "We showed last week and the week before that we can compete with anyone, but we didn't get the points we deserved.
"We showed we knew where to hurt them in the first half, but we actually executed it in the second half by putting all of our strengths together.
"I still think there is probably more to come. We could have even got a few more goals against Aston Villa, but we are really happy with the win."
Jair Cunha was a notable miss for Saturday's trip to Villa Park - and it has since been revealed he is dealing with a minor hamstring injury.
The centre-back, who has carved out a starting position this season, received a first senior call-up to the Brazil national team last week.
"It is a great opportunity for him," said former Reds midfielder Steve Hodge. "He has only played about 50 games in his senior career so far and now he has been called up by Brazil. Hopefully he can get one or two caps and show what he's worth.
"I've always felt that he can pass a ball nicely, he is calm under pressure and he has made a good impression in a quiet way at Nottingham Forest.
"Clearly the Brazil hierarchy want to have a look at him. The Copa America is two years away and the World Cup four years away, so it is a great time for him to go in and make his mark."
