Wales’ Craig Bellamy suggests change to application of handball rule in Britain

Craig Bellamy suggested British football needs to do “something different” and get in line with a wider application of the handball rule after a controversial spot-kick gave Belgium the impetus to beat Wales 4-2 in their World Cup qualifier.

Wales were leading through Joe Rodon’s header when Ethan Ampadu was punished for handling Charles De Ketelaere’s 17th-minute shot.

Ampadu’s arm was struck from point-blank range and was not far from his body, but the spot-kick was awarded by German referee Daniel Siebert after a VAR review and Kevin De Bruyne equalised.
