Newcastle contact PGMOL over ‘stonewall’ penalty not given against Chelsea

Newcastle winger Gordon was clattered into by Chelsea defender Chalobah in the penalty area, with the Magpies 2-1 up in the second-half. On-field referee Andy Madley did not give a penalty, with VAR Peter Bankes insisting the contact was a “side-to-side in a shielding action.”
