Gary Neville was relieved to see Newcastle United eventually earn three points after Elliot Anderson’s controversial disallowed goal. Midway through the first half, Toon supporters were raging when VAR intervened to chalk off a second Newcastle goal.
Felipe appeared to clear a cross from Alexander Isak towards Sean Longstaff, who had previously been hovering in an offside position. Moussa Niakhate blasted a second clearance off the Magpies’ midfielder, with the rebound falling to Isak.
A second cross by the Swedish superstar found Anderson at the back post, who leaped above Serge Aurier to head home. Rapturous scenes from the away end were paused as Paul Tierney was summoned to the pitchside monitor to overturn his decision.
