Law 12

A direct free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if a player
commits any of the following three offences:
? holds an opponent
? spits at an opponent
? handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his
own penalty area)

Very hard to say that that was deliberate, the shot was drilled at him and he was flinching away from it if anything
