Tottenham 1-1 Newcastle: We have lost the plot with handball, says Steve Bruce

Football has "lost the plot" with the new handball ruling and decisions made by officials are causing Premier League matches to "lose the spectacle", says Newcastle manager Steve Bruce.

The Magpies were awarded a late penalty after Andy Carroll's knockdown came off Eric Dier's arm inside the box.

Callum Wilson converted the 97th-minute spot-kick in the 1-1 draw at Tottenham.

Spurs boss Jose Mourinho did not want to comment but said there was "no respect" for his club.

The hosts led through Lucas Moura's first-half strike but missed a number of chances, allowing Newcastle to earn a point with their only shot on target in the contest.
