As regards the new handball rule. The rules state that leeway should be given if the ball ricochets against a player’s arm or if the player in question cannot see the ball. It’s very clear.Therefore the ref did not or should not have awarded the penalty.Carroll looked offside anyway.
I thought that VAR would have stopped players cheating by diving to get a penalty.
It has created a scenario whereby attackers deliberately hit the ball against a defenders arm.I am not saying Carroll did this but when he came on he was trying things.
Sorry but that is only in the case of when the arm is not making body unnaturally bigger.
The penalty was correctly awarded
