Callum Wilson and Eddie Howe feel referee Jarred Gillett and VAR made the right call in allowing Newcastle United's opening goal against Tottenham on Sunday evening. Hugo Lloris and his Spurs team-mates wanted the first-half strike disallowed after a collision with Wilson outside the box.
The officials saw it as nothing more than a fair coming together, allowing Wilson the chance to pick himself up off the turf before calmly lobbing the French goalkeeper with his weak foot. Lloris' complaints continued long after the VAR check had concluded but Newcastle 's No 9 believes the decision was a fair one.
"I had every right to go for the ball, he’s steaming out, sometimes goalkeepers get too much love from the referee," Wilson told Sky Sports. "He’s [Lloris] chested it and dived into me really. I’ve carried on, put it in, nice goal.
