    Sky saying that if an attacker handles the ball in any way it’s handball - is that so?

    Yep. "Any goal scored or created with the use of the hand or arm will be disallowed [from] this season even if it is accidental."

    It seems that way. There have been a couple of incidents this season where VAR has disallowed a goal even when the handball was clearly accidental but if it is a defender doing the same thing then it's not necessarily a penalty.
