‘I feel your pain’: Andy Carroll posts cheeky Instagram picture sympathising with Tottenham as he claims handball rule forces players to perform ‘pencil jumps’ in aerial battles following controversial late penalty for Newcastle

Andy Carroll has taken to Instagram to sympathise with Tottenham Hotspur after he won a last-minute penalty that saw Newcastle United walk away with an unlikely point on Sunday.

The former England striker criticised the handball rule by posting a picture of stick man performing a ‘pencil jump’ on social media, claiming it was the ‘new rule for any aerial challenges’.

The jibe came after Carroll was awarded a penalty for a late header that struck the arm of Eric Dier, who was facing the other way, inside the penalty box at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the weekend.
