Ex Premier League referee agrees with Newcastle's Eddie Howe on 'worst option' vs Crystal Palace

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has shared his views on the VAR controversy during Crystal Palace's goalless draw against Newcastle United.

The Magpies felt they had broken the deadlock against the Eagles in Saturday’s Premier League clash at St James’ Park after Tyrick Mitchell turned the ball into his own net in the second-half.
