Having looked at the rules in greater details I have found out that that goal was legal. The reason being is that the beachball was an afterthought, as in the incident had already happened and with something like that, if a goal is scored, then the goal cannot be disallowed because it has already happened. Now had the referee spotted it, he should have stopped the game, removed said beachball from the pitch and played on.

Plus as Darren Bent said, it's Liverpools fault, Reina had time to see it, kick it away and there wouldnt have been a problem.
