Alan Shearer was furious with the VAR decision to award Brentford a second penalty against Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Newcastle were forced to come from behind to win 2-1 in west London after Ivan Toney converted the second penalty just before half-time. Toney failed to score from the spot the first time around, as Nick Pope kept out his effort following Sven Botman’s foul on Kevin Schade.
He did not make the same mistake again, however, with his penalty putting Brentford 1-0 up after VAR intervened to give them a second spot-kick. Alexander Isak was adjudged to have fouled Rico Henry from a corner with a high foot on the stooping full-back.
