I am of the opinion that this decision was somewhat harsh, he headed the ball.

Did the defender impede the striker? Yup. Doesn't matter how - he did.
Put it this way, I don't think anyone could really say the defender was going for the ball with a 'tackle' like that - he wasn't even looking at it. The fact the ball hit his head is by the by here - he got the man first.
