New camera angle shows Williams' disallowed goal hit arm

A new video clip has emerged showing that Neco Williams’ ball struck his arm before the goal was ruled disallowed in the 0-0 draw between Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur.

The match finished goalless, but Forest had a goal that was denied by the referee after the ball appeared to touch Williams’ arm, a situation that has now been captured from a different camera angle.

The footage clearly displays the ball making contact with Williams’ arm, a detail that was not visible in the original broadcast footage used by the officials on the day.

Such evidence is significant because it highlights the difficulty referees face in making split‑second decisions, especially when the ball’s path is obstructed by a player’s arm.

While the decision stands for the match, the new angle could be used by governing bodies to review the incident and inform future refereeing guidelines.
