Please forgive me if this has been raised elsewhere.
An article in today's Telegraph points out that the Premier League is misinterpreting what was originally intended by the body that makes world football rules. The intention was that no player should gain control of the ball using their hand/arm and "it is not usually an offence if the ball touches a player's hand/arm directly from the head or body of a player who is close".
Dendoncker's goal should have been allowed if the PL had interpreted the instructions correctly.
