Premier League to review controversial VAR calls including disallowed Newcastle goal

The Premier League will review the controversial VAR decisions made against Newcastle United and West Ham this weekend as a 'matter of priority'. That is according to the BBC, with the contentious calls dominating the post-match talking points on Saturday.

Eddie Howe's side were held to a goalless draw by Crystal Palace at St James' Park despite a positive display from the hosts. However, the Magpies were left incensed after a Tyrick Mitchell own goal was chalked off after Joe Willock was penalised for a foul on Vincente Guaita.

Referee Michael Salisbury initially allowed the goal to stand, but was then advised by VAR Lee Mason to review the decision on the pitchside monitor. Mitchell appeared to push Willock in the back ahead of the collision with the Palace goalkeeper, but the the strike was still ruled out with the visitors instead awarded a free-kick.
