To me, he realised he's ****ed up and over committed (ball was going beyond him and Konate was ahead of him) and, in the spur of the moment, stuck his hand up in the hope of getting away with a push. Trouble is, his arm movement didn't match a push of the kind. Crazy split second decision that isn't usually associated to VVD
VVD is beyond his peak years but to suggest he's washed up is laughable; he's still far better than most despite a decline.
