Truly awful decision and I’m a Boro fan…

The handball rule is so fucked, so many results are decided because of it and it’s spoiling the game.

Stupid rules aside, how can that be intentional? Ball hits his chest then arm, blasted at him from a yard away, how is it fair in general to give a penalty in that scenario? If the cross went in from dembele, the direction of the ball is going to the edge of the box, Newcastle had about 6 or 7 players back, what’s the xG of that? 0.01? Versus giving a penalty which has an xG of 0.8 maybe?

Shambles from the ref and VAR, happening way too often.
