Newcastle United handed cup final strong team of officials for Bournemouth game after VAR storm

The Premier League have appointed a cup final strong set of officials to look after Newcastle United's home game with AFC Bournemouth this weekend at St James' Park.

United were left furious by a VAR decision from both Michael Sailsbury and Lee Mason to disallow Marc Guehi's own goal after Joe Willock was wrongly adjudged to have fouled Crystal Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita at the Leazes End. TV replays later showed that the goal should have stood and that Sailsbury had been shown an unbalanced view of the incident.

The decision left Eddie Howe unhappy and Alan Shearer furious in his Match of the Day analysis. The Premier League have offered United a strong officiating line-up in the aftermath of the incident.
