Jamie Carragher and Alan Shearer deliver same blunt verdict on big decision that impacted Liverpool

Jamie Carragher and Alan Shearer both believe Wolverhampton Wanderers should have been awarded a penalty against Newcastle United.

Wolves were denied a penalty in the first half of their 2-1 defeat at St. James' Park, while the game was tied at 0-0. Jimenez was bundled over by Pope after he pounced on a poor touch by the England international inside the box.

Referee Andy Madley waved away the appeals, before VAR opted not to intervene and send the official to the pitchside monitor to take another look at the incident. Just six minutes after the incident, Newcastle took the lead through a header from Alexander Isak.
