'Bizarre' verdict delivered on key Newcastle United decision vs Nottingham Forest

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher believes that Newcastle United had a perfectly good goal incorrectly ruled out against Nottingham Forest, a decision that pundit Stephen Warnock called "bizarre".

In the second half Elliott Anderson headed the ball past Keylor Navas following a floated cross from Alexander Isak. But it was ruled out following a VAR check which deemed Sean Longstaff to be offside in the buildup.

Matchday referee Paul Tierney went to his pitchside monitor and made the call after an intervention by VAR. He decided the ball was inadvertently deflected toward Longstaff, who was in an offside position.
