How is that actually relevant?

"Charging down" is simply a version of tackling. The rules are specific, if the ball is hit at a player (and in this case it hit his leg first, of course) and he can't avoid contact with the ball to hand / arm then no foul is committed.

Rule 12 Fouls and Misconduct (NCFC) - Cannydc, Apr 15, 09:33:55
- It wasn't a penalty but their disallowed goal wasn't offside either (n/m) (NCFC) - Adster, Apr 15, 09:47:57
  - Course it was (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 15, 09:57:30
    - Watching the replay it didn't seem it to me, I'd like to be proved wrong though (NCFC) - Adster, Apr 15, 10:07:09
      - Here you go (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 15, 10:16:06
        
        Offside rule needs to be daylight (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 15, 10:43:49
        
        Agree. (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Apr 15, 13:01:25
        
        Now you’re just taking the piss (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 15, 10:47:47
        
        Justify to me why that goal should not be allowed (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 15, 13:26:41
        
        p.s I'm saying the offside rule should be CHANGED to daylight (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 15, 13:27:44
        
        Yep, offside. Doesn't it have to be any part of the body which can legally touch the ball? (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 15, 10:24:21
        
        Yeah chest is without doubt ahead (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 15, 10:27:37
        
        Ball's already clearly left the taker's foot there though. (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 15, 10:18:40
        
        Oh come on it’s blurred in between foot and leaving (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 15, 10:24:15
        
        Not sure the linesman can be "frame by frame" accurate tbf (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 15, 10:22:30
        
        Well that's exactly my point (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 15, 10:39:10
  - Blatant offside. Leg and shoulder past the offside line (n/m) (NCFC) - Tony Martin, Apr 15, 09:55:07
    - Hand may have been offside but I don't know if that counts (n/m) (NCFC) - Adster, Apr 15, 10:03:13
      - His body was offside too - the camera angle makes it look like just his arm (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Apr 15, 10:31:27
      - The arm was miles ahead of everyone else (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 15, 10:10:18
        
        so "half a yard" equals "miles"? (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 15, 10:17:26
        
        Absolutely right (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 15, 10:44:38
        
        I think with VAR he might not have flagged (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 15, 10:23:22
        
        i think you can guarantee he wouldn't have flagged (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Apr 15, 11:16:45
        
        I’m 100% VAR then gives offside (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 15, 10:26:58
        
        No that was only his arm (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 15, 10:21:37
        
        Just posted above that his body was off too (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Apr 15, 10:32:27
- But he charged the ball down (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 15, 09:38:11
  - It didn't hit it directly, so irrelevant. Stop digging (n/m) (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 15, 10:26:01
  - You try charging forwards, leaning backwards to thrust his legs forward (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 15, 09:48:36
    - Anyway, by far the most annoying thing about it (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 15, 09:50:17
      - And they scored the penalty (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 15, 09:55:33
  - He was trying to block it with his leg (and did) (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 15, 09:44:54
    - For me he raises his arm as he charges it down (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 15, 09:54:06
      - He doesn't raise his arms (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 15, 10:10:16
      - Have you ever tried to slide on the floor? (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 15, 09:58:17
    - VMT (n/m) (NCFC) - Cannydc, Apr 15, 09:46:46
  - How is that actually relevant? (NCFC) - Cannydc, Apr 15, 09:43:17
    - Why did he clutch his face immediately? (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 15, 09:47:09
      - Again not relevant. Nothing in the rules about that (n/m) (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 15, 10:28:22
        
        Conning the ref is allowed? (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 15, 10:32:22
        
        He clutched his face cos he couldn't believe it had been given (n/m) (NCFC) - Dandy Highburyman, Apr 15, 10:35:18
      - Gutted a pen had been awarded (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 15, 09:59:04
  - Doesn’t that count as movement towards the ball? (NCFC) - APB, Apr 15, 09:43:11
    - His arm didn't move towards the ball (NCFC) - Cannydc, Apr 15, 09:45:38
- #unexpectedball (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Apr 15, 09:36:56
