The main changes to the new rules are Accidental handballing leading to goal scoring Or allow teammates to score goals Will no longer be judged as a foul
This means that Fulham’s goal was denied in a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham on Thursday night. Will be counted as a goal After the referee blows a handball Because the ball hit Mario Le Mina’s arm before Josh Maya fired him, even though Le Mina had no intention of making a handball.
???? Incredible how Mario Lemina is punished for having his hand by his side.
