'I hope we get out, Brexit' - Former QPR boss Holloway claims EU responsible for new handball rules

Gabriel Jesus’ last-minute goal against Spurs was ruled out by VAR, with the former manager blaming the EU for the decision

Ian Holloway claims that the European Union is to blame for the controversial new handball rule in the Premier League.

The former Crystal Palace and Blackpool manager made the bizarre claim following Gabriel Jesus’ last-minute goal in the 2-2 draw with Spurs last weekend.

The Brazilian striker thought he had scored the winner in the dying minutes of Saturday’s match at the Etihad, only for VAR to rule out the goal after team-mate Aymeric Laporte was adjudged to have handled the ball in the build-up.
