Pundits were “staggered” as Newcastle were denied a “stonewall penalty” against Chelsea after Anthony Gordon went down in the box under the challenge of Trevoh Chalobah.

Newcastle forward Gordon was played into the Chelsea penalty area and looked to try and shield the ball from the oncoming defender Chalobah close to the byline.
