Not the best of views. On the footage I saw you can clearly see the shot hit the side netting. Then just like this link, the ball boy picks it up and rolls it into the net. I think the assistant referee (linesman) actually stated the shot went into the goal!! The referee simply believed them and has got suspended.

Not like the Spurs 'goal' against Manchester United!! When the ball clearly went over the line and the goal was NOT awarded!! That referee was not suspended, not even from his you know whats??
