It's ball-to-hand. There's no way he can get his arm out of the way of that shot. At most you could argue he should keep his arms closer to his body but, come on, they have to go somewhere.

If you spread your arms out wide when trying to block a shot going towards an open goal... and it hits you on the arm, it's a penalty and a red card. No way you can possibly argue that with a straight face.

Player doesn't try to move his hand towards the ball but there was no reason to stick it up there other than to make himself bigger and block a shot. Bit of a harsh red I reckon but deffo a penalty and probably a yellow.
