I've watched it a few times now. I think the intent was to hit him, but not in the head. I've seen that hit (except the contact is made on the chest or shoulder of the hitee) many times. We all have. AV put his arm to his chest to brace for the contact. 99% of players will do the same thing given that he is leading with his chest and not his shoulder. There was no intent to make contact with his head but that doesn't excise the fact that is happened.
