It wasnt a forward pass guys. Theres no momentum rule, the law cant be changed, its basic physics. The ball comes out of the hands backwards from a player running at speed. The direction of the ball in relation to the ground is irrelevant. Alex Sutcliffe passed it backwards. Here it is in black and white.
Direction of Pass 1. The direction of a pass is relative to the player making it and not to the actual path relative to the ground. A player running towards his opponents’ goal line may throw the ball towards a colleague who is behind him but because of the thrower’s own momentum the ball travels forward relative to the ground. This is not a forward pass as the thrower has not
passed the ball forward in relation to himself. This is particularly noticeable when a running player makes a high, lobbed pass.
Moot point as it leaves the Leeds players hands forward, travels forward in the air and bounces forward(although bouncing forward isn't supposed to be relevant)
