Looks more like someone's phlegm. Still wonderful to watch though.

LOL at the West Ham fan throwing his programme in a rage after Spurs score and then going to pick it up.

Playing in a dangerous manner

Playing in a dangerous manner is defined as any action that, while
trying to play the ball, threatens injury to someone (including the player
himself). It is committed with an opponent nearby and prevents the opponent
from playing the ball for fear of injury.

A scissors or bicycle kick is permissible provided that, in the opinion of the
referee, it is not dangerous to an opponent.

Playing in a dangerous manner involves no physical contact between the
players. If there is physical contact, the action becomes an offence punishable
with a direct free kick or penalty kick. In the case of physical contact, the
referee should carefully consider the high probability that misconduct has also
been committed.

Nobody would've complained had he awarded the goal. Always thought it's slightly insulting to award that as dangerous when the technique was as superb as that. Perfectly good goal and should've stood.
