Newcastle United manager
Steve Bruce has called for a
further review of the handball rules after striker
Callum Wilson's late goal
was chalked off in Saturday's 1-1 Premier League draw at Liverpool.

Liverpool scored inside three minutes through Mohamed Salah
but Newcastle thought they had equalized in stoppage time when Wilson bundled
the ball into the back of the net after going through one-against-one against
goalkeeper Alisson.
But the goal was disallowed following the intervention of
the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) as the ball hit Wilson's elbow from close
range after Alisson made a save.
Newcastle shook off the disappointment of the disallowed
goal and went on to equalize in the dying seconds of the match through Joe
Willock to claim a point.
"We're going to have to look at these crazy rules. You
think 'what a ridiculous decision.' We're taking the letter of the law too
literally. Do we want a situation of players running at full pelt with their
arms behind their backs, it's ludicrous.
"It makes a mockery of it. It's not the fault of VAR,
it's the fault of the rules but the goal shouldn't be chalked off. It's
something we have to address. I might have been sitting here talking about a
2-1 win."
Football's rulemaker IFAB last month changed the laws of the
game effective July 1 so that accidental handballs leading to a team mate
scoring will no longer be penalized.
However, the changed rules would not have affected the
outcome in Saturday's game as goals scored directly from the arm or hand or
immediately after will continue to be ruled out, even if accidental.
