Newcastle's opening goal at Tottenham leads to disagreement in Sky Sports studio after VAR review

The decision to allow Newcastle United's opening goal at Tottenham to stand caused a half-time debate in the Sky Sports studio. Les Ferdinand and Jamie Redknapp disagreed over whether Callum Wilson should have been penalised for the collision with Hugo Lloris.

The Magpies' number nine looked to latch on to a lofted pass from Fabian Schar, but was beaten to the ball by the Tottenham goalkeeper. However, the pair collided and Wilson showed great composure to calmly put the ball into the unguarded net.

Referee Jarred Gillett allowed the goal to stand, and the review from VAR Stuart Attwell did not lead to the on-field decision being overturned. Former Newcastle and Tottenham striker Ferdinand backed the decision, and here is a transcript of the half-time exchange on Sky Sports.
