I've read it and I've heard Challinor's interview and I don't agree with him.
I've seen it from the angle Challinor did on a highlight video of someone sat at a similar position to him (https://youtu.be/7a-LoySGbuc) and it doesn't do the deflection justice.
From my angle closer to it, the deflection made the difference. There was little Hinchliffe or any other keeper could have done about it.
