Fiorentina-Milan is heating up the Saturday night of the 30th matchday of Serie A, with the Viola claiming a handball in the box. There were major protests from Andrea Belotti and his teammates, with the former Roma player reaching the edge of the box with the ball at his feet. After a speedy progression, the central striker shot at goal, but found Tomori in the path of the ball. It was this touch that triggered the complaints of the Tuscans, who asked the referee Maresca for a penalty kick.

What happened

The Fiorentina striker was launched at speed by his teammates and at the 29th minute, he became very dangerous with a shot from the edge of the box. Tomori tried to intercept the shot from inside the box by bringing his arms to his chest. At the moment of the shot, however, the former Chelsea player turned, thus sending the ball into a side foul. In turning, the defender might have touched the ball with his hands. However, they were attached to his body and did not increase its volume. There were major protests from the Fiorentina players with the Var not intervening to stop the action. Even Maresca did not notice the hand touch and let the game continue.
