Thomas Frank has admitted it would be 'pathetic' to complain about Brentford rightly having a goal disallowed against Newcastle United after his side went on to lose the game 5-1.
Brentford appeared to land the first blow at St James' Park on Saturday when Bryan Mbeumo had the ball in the net in the 11th minute. John Brooks gave the goal, but VAR quickly intervened and the referee went over to his pitchside monitor to take a second look, which is always a tell-tale sign.
Brooks duly ruled that Ivan Toney interfered with play from an offside position in the build-up to the goal. Although Toney did not touch the ball, the striker's dummy took Fabian Schar out of the game and allowed Shandon Baptiste's pass to reach Mbeumo inside the area.
