However Ched Evans definifetly lays a hand into the small of his back just as he jumps and this is what causes his hand to shoot up as he is off balance. Enough for a free kick is debateable but the very slight push is what causes the handball and maybe the ref saw it this way.

This is a key point. The ref didn’t ‘miss it’ as he gave us a free kick - therefore he obviously decided that there had been foul on Nelson first.
I think it was soft and probably wasn’t a foul on Nelson, but it’s nonsense for Hackett to start saying he ‘missed it due to a lack of concentration or fatigue’ when the reality is that he had already/was in the process of blowing for a foul.
