Callum Wilson’s opening goal for Newcastle against Tottenham certainly split opinion, with Alan Shearer among those to take an opposing view to Jamie Redknapp.
Wilson notched first in the Premier League's late kick-off on Sunday, with VAR ruling in his favour after a clash with Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. The Newcastle striker got in behind the home defence before running into Lloris outside the penalty area after the Frenchman had left his penalty area and elected to control on his chest.
With Lloris falling to the ground theatrically, Wilson collected the loose ball and lofted it over the retreating defenders to make it 1-0. After a long consultation, VAR deemed the incident to be a simple coming together, rather than a foul, meaning the goal stood.
