Chelsea legend John Terry has labeled the decision to award his old team a penalty against Arsenal as harsh.
Terry, who never had any love for the Gunners as a player, was speaking about the side's 2-2 draw on Saturday.
In the contest, William Saliba was judged to have handballed in the penalty area, despite a Mykhailo Mudryk header arriving from very close range.
On X (formerly Twitter), Terry wrote: "Delighted we got the Penalty but I don't agree with the rules on this, very harsh on defenders.
I would have been fuming if that was given against me back in the day. But happy now."
The current wording of the FA and PGMOL on handballs is as follows: "It is an offence if a player touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player's body movement for that specific situation. By having their hand/arm in such a position, the player takes a risk of their hand/arm being hit by the ball and being penalised."
