Eddie Howe says he did not receive an explanation from the officials on Sunday afternoon after his side were denied a penalty at Stamford Bridge. Newcastle winger Jacob Murphy was tugged by his shirt and went down in the box.
But neither referee David Coote nor VAR man John Brooks deemed the foul worthy of a penalty. When asked if he’d had any explanation Howe simply said: “No.”
And on the costly decision overall, Howe reflected: “I can't look past the penalty, for me. Yeah, hugely disappointed with that decision and how they have reached that decision. Basically it's a penalty, Jacob's had his shirt ripped off his back near enough, goes down in the box, a clear penalty.
