Alan Shearer and Danny Murphy both agreed that the penalty decision given against Newcastle was never a penalty. Referee Robert Jones awarded a penalty after consulting the VAR monitor for a foul by Kieran Trippier on Bobby Decordova-Reid.
However, the two pundits said that then penalty that wasn't given - Dan Burn's pull back on Andreas Pereira which was waved away by officials and VAR - was more of a penalty shout. Both Eddie Howe and Marco Silva felt the first foul was more of a penalty.
The Fulham boss went one further and suggested that Burn should have been sent off as well as being awarded a penalty.

Murphy told Match of The Day 2: "Well I think most people would agree, who watch a lot of football and understand football. I mean it's a penalty, whether he goes down a little bit easy is questionable.
"I think if he'd have given a penalty he would have had to have given a red and I think that should have been the decision. They thought they got away with it, there's the pull back, it's enough when you see it move forward, to move his body sideways so of course he's going to go over.
"It's a penalty and a sending off. This wasn't a penalty and they gave it, Mike Dean told him to go over and have a look. Also, when he's told him to go over and look at the screen, why hasn't he said 'hold on we've got different angles here, why are you turning away?'
"When you've got different angles to see - the first one is the problem, why is that? Look they got away with it a little bit with that decision, they capitalised on it and over the 90 minutes they probably edged it."
Shearer said: "You can see the referee, looking at the screen, the one view he didn't get, he turns away, the one view he would have got was this one which clearly shows it's not a penalty.
"He actually stands on Trippier. I think Howard Webb has had a really good start and he did say about high bar, Mike Dean is sat in the office looking at that and that's meant to be an unbelievable error, a howler from the referee that Mike Dean says 'Go to the screen because you've made such a huge error' - no chance.
"The first one was a penalty, the pull back, that absolutely should have been a penalty. There's no way that should be a penalty."
