Goalkeepers are reportedly set to be banned from distracting penalty takers after Emiliano Martinez's controversial antics at the World Cup final prompted a review of the current rules.
The International Football Association Board have now decided to introduce new rules to 'clamp down on gamesmanship', stopping keepers from doing things with the intention of putting off the taker.
The Sun report that the IFAB will ratify the new rules at their annual general meeting in March, before they then officially become a part of the game.
