Howard Webb says accidental handball law ‘a nonsense’ and calls for reform

Howard Webb, chief refereeing officer for English football, has called the accidental handball law 'a bit of a nonsense' and urged reform to prevent referees facing 'ridiculous situations'. Speaking on Tuesday, Webb also addressed the VAR error during Sunday's Manchester derby, in which officials failed to spot Enzo Fernández interfering with play from an offside position before Erling Haaland scored the winning goal for Manchester City. Webb said he was 'really disappointed' with the VAR decision, describing the officials involved as having had 'tunnel vision'.
