Alan Shearer believes Eddie Howe took the 'shocking' VAR decision to rule out Newcastle United' goal against Crystal Palace 'too well'. Joe Willock was penalised for a collision with Vincente Guaita despite appearing to be pushed in the back by Tyrick Mitchell.
The Eagles' full-back inadvertently deflected the ball into his own net, and referee Michael Salisbury initially allowed the goal to stand. However, the referee chalked the goal off after being encouraged to review the decision by VAR Lee Mason.
It is the latest in a series of controversial calls to already go against Newcastle this season, and came hot on the heels of the added-time frustration in the last-gasp defeat at Anfield. It was also one of several questionable calls in the latest gameweek, with Aston Villa and West Ham both on the wrong end of decisions against 'Big Six' opponents
