'Get together, go to the Premier League and say "this must stop"': Steve Bruce urges teams to unite against 'nonsense' new handball rule... even after his Newcastle side snatched a late point with a controversithal late penalty against Tottenham

Steve Bruce has become the latest Premier League manager to criticise the new handball law and called for the Premier League to scrap it after Newcastle United benefited from a late penalty decision to equalise at Tottenham Hotspur.

A free-kick floated into the Tottenham box in second-half stoppage time was headed by Andy Carroll onto the right arm of an airborne Eric Dier at point-blank range.

After VAR concluded that there was no offside during the set-piece, referee Peter Bankes went over to the pitchside monitor and controversially gave the spot-kick.
