BT Sport heavily implied last night (they may have even said it's a "rule", but they've made those up before) that it should only be disallowed if a) it's intentional (it wasn't), b) if the arm is in an unnatural position (it wasn't), or c) if the ball doesn't touch another body part after the arm (it did). In the Aguero situation you're talking about, BT Sports rules say it's a no-goal, as the last body part to be touched was the elbow, but last night's was kosher.
It's the last of these 3 I have huge contention with - I have honestly never heard anything like that before: basically what they're implying is that if a player whips a cross into the box, someone else is running, the ball hits their arm and bounces down onto their knee and in, then it should be a goal, according to the rules. Which doesn't sound right to me. I honestly think they make things up as they go along.
