I am writing this because of the recent match between Ipswich vs Wolves, the Ipswich keeper handled the ball passed by his teammate to avoid an own goal. That should be a obvious goal scoring opportunity, but there is no sanction for the keeper, only an indirect free kick was given.

This is in line with the rule below:
If the goalkeeper handles the ball inside their penalty area when not permitted to do so, an indirect free kick is awarded but there is no disciplinary sanction. However, if the offence is playing the ball a second time (with or without the hand/arm) after a restart...
