Match of the Day pundits Ashley Williams and Dion Dublin were stunned by referee Paul Tierney’s decision to chalk off Elliot Anderson’s header. With the scoreline level, the young Geordie thought he had bagged his first Newcastle United goal.
Jubilant scenes erupted in the away end - with Anderson joining the 3,000-strong in attendance - but those were quickly halted when VAR intervened. Tierney was summoned to the pitchside monitor and the goal was ruled out.
Sean Longstaff - despite not touching the ball - was judged to have been interfering with play. However, the true argument is whether Felipe or Moussa Niakhate deliberately cleared the ball.
