Eddie Howe feels Newcastle United were unfortunate not to be given a penalty during the 0-0 draw with Manchester United on Sunday. Magpies striker Callum Wilson thought he had earned a spot-kick in the first-half after driving into the penalty area before being caught by Raphael Varane.
Referee Craig Pawson didn't see it that way, waving play on before VAR officials took a look at the incident from Stockley Park. The initial decision was upheld as the away end at Old Trafford waited with bated breath.
Speaking after the draw, Howe admits on another day his side may have been awarded the decision. "I've watched it back very quickly. I thought it was a very strong shout for a penalty," the Newcastle boss said.
