'This is an absolute disgrace - whoever is involved in this, you are ruining football': Jamie Carragher blasts handball rule as Spurs concede controversial late penalty to Newcastle as Jose Mourinho's assistant Joao Sacramento is sent off for complaining!

Jamie Carragher has blasted the handball rule, as the Sky Sports pundit labelled the decision to award Newcastle a last-minute penalty against Tottenham Hotspur an 'absolute disgrace'.

Spurs were looking to see out a 1-0 win over the Magpies on Sunday afternoon when the ball struck the arm of Eric Dier in the penalty area following a late free kick from the visitors.

VAR intervened and referee Peter Bankes was advised to review the incident on the pitchside monitor. After watching a number of replays, the referee pointed to the spot to award Newcastle a controversial penalty.
