I agree with the earlier poster, if a defender intentionally prevents a ball from going into the net with his hands it should be an automatic goal. There's absolutely no consequences for that play otherwise.
I'm a bit torn on this. A penalty and a red card is a huge consequence.
If you allow an automatic goal do you still give a player a red card? What would you do in the Harry Kewell situation in the first half?

The fact that it happened in the 120th minute made this a very unique situation.
