Peter Walton on 'strange' disallowed Newcastle United goal against Crystal Palace

Former Premier League official Peter Walton believes VAR made the right call in disallowing Tyrick Mitchell's own goal against Newcastle. However, he did say claim the decision was a 'strange one.'

Eddie Howe's side have had to contend with two dubious VAR calls in thee space of four days. First, Alexander Isak was denied a brace at Anfield by the finest margins, which would have put the Magpies two goals to the good earlier this week.

The disallowed goal today proved to be the only goal of the game, with Joe Willock pushed into Vicente Guaita by Mitchell, before the ball hit the Crystal Palace defender on the head and went in. The Magpies head coach was understandably frustrated by the decision, which leaves Newcastle without a win since the opening day of the season.
