The International Football Association Board (IFAB) have no plans to review the handball rule following the disallowed goal scored by Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus in the 2-2 draw with Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday evening.
The updated handball law was only introduced on 1 June and states: ‘It is an offence if a player gains possession/control of the ball after it has touched their hand/arm and then scores in the opponents’ goal or creates a goal-scoring opportunity.’
Jesus scored what he thought was a late winner for City, but the ball had arrived at his feet after deflecting off the arm of teammate Aymeric Laporte, who was attempting to head it.
