The Erling Haaland decision which raises Newcastle VAR question after Man Utd draw

Newcastle United's latest result has once again been plagued by questions over VAR and the on-field decisions. Eddie Howe's side maintained their impressive start to the season with a goalless draw at Manchester United.

Both sides were left aggrieved by calls made by referee Craig Pawson, with the visitors seeing a strong first-half penalty appeal waved away. Callum Wilson was brought down by Raphael Varane inside the box following a collision, but no spot-kick was awarded.

The incident was reviewed on the latest edition of Sky Sports' 'Ref Watch' segment by former referee Dermot Gallgher and pundit Danny Mills. The ex-England international raised doubts over the 'clear and obvious' remit by comparing the penalty appeal to the VAR decision to chalk off Manchester City's goal in the defeat at Liverpool.
