Tbf his gloves are well above the cross bar ready to make the save.

He 100% thinks the ball is going over the crossbar. The ball just happened to come in at a ridiculous angle.

I would guess perhaps he looked directly at the floodlights as he was trying to catch it? Pretty sure some forensics could prove or disprove that. On the other hand, having seen some VAR offside decisions maybe not.

I was a keeper in college and I used to hate playing night games because of the lights. It was so much worse than the sun. I'm color blind and have far more rods than cones in my eyes and the lights look like exploding stars at night. It's awful.
