I must've imagined the law where even if accidental, you can't prevent the ball going in the net with an arm. I hadn't seen the incident earlier when a friend explained it and I immediately said penalty & caution.

As you've both said, there seems to be nothing of the sort stated in law 12 having re-read just now, so maybe I have made that up (?). Will be interesting what the clarification on it is.

Handball law is a mess as it is without any more confusion, but if you can't score a goal with an accidental handball, I'm not sure why you should be able to prevent one either.
