I still think that was not a bad call. 50/50 IMO
As the ref said: "Waston deliberately handled the ball", it was most definitely was a terrible call.

Arm was in a natural position, ball took a close range deflection and it was ball to hand. While it may have created an advantage, it fails three out of four tests.
