Newcastle left the Amex Stadium on Sunday with a point that maintained fourth position in the Premier League after an 89th minute penalty conversion by Alexander Isak – their third spot kick award of the afternoon.
The previous two had come earlier in the second half as Eddie Howe’s side kicked towards their own supporters, but on both occasions referee Craig Pawson’s onfield decision was over-ruled by VAR operative Andy Madley.
