Penalty goals in football under consideration

David Elleray says penalty goals are a possibility and video technology could help push the change through.

The award of penalty goals for handballs on the goal line is under consideration, a top official at the game's law-making body has said.

Incidents such as Luis Suarez's blatant handball to deny Ghana a goal against Uruguay in a 2010 World Cup quarter-final could in future result in a penalty goal being given, rather than a penalty kick.
