CLOSED: Identify UK spider

leeds, United Kingdom

I found 3 baby spiders in my bathroom. This one that I caught had a smaller abdomen than the other 2 so I assume it's a male. Could someone please identify it as im not sure about the false widow. I found it hard to tell as they were so small plus I'd never seen these before. Thank you.

These do not look like false widow spiders (Steatoda sp.) to me - might be in the family Linyphiidae ("money spiders"). BTW, there appears to be a lot of overhyped stuff recently being published on false widows in the UK...
