Bentancur v Burn, wrestling v head-locking, both fouling. Ref plays on. Two problems with VAR intervention. 1, not a clear and obvious error. 2, no consistency. Happens regularly. Decision may go Bentancur’s way next time with different officials. #NEWTOT

Full-time: #NUFC 2-2 #THFC

Very frustrating evening for #NUFC, feels like opportunity missed.

Scrappy 1st half, then twice they took the lead, both through substitutes (including via a VAR-awarded penalty) & twice they threw it away.

Can't keep momentum in PL going.

Romero at the double - & this second equaliser is great techique, although it looks soft.

An overhead kick which bounces & takes its time to get into the goal.

Arguably should have been dealt with.

Romero, Romero. Wherefore art thou defence, Newcastle? Two goals for the #THFC captain. #NEWTOT

#NEWTOT – 82’ VAR OVERTURN After VAR review, the referee overturned the original decision of no penalty to Newcastle United. Referee announcement: “After review, Tottenham number 30 makes a holding offence at the back post and clearly does not look at the ball. My final decision is penalty kick.”

Referee Tom Bramall is called over to the monitor by VAR Paul Tierney to check over a potential penalty. Bentancur grabbing hold of Burn & then eventually dragging him to the floor.

He awards the penalty at the Gallowgate End.

Gordon finishes from the spot, sending Vicario the wrong way. His first Premier League goal since January.

Gordon had held on to the ball for a long while before giving it to Woltemade, then he took it back. Looked (sort of) orchestrated. Maybe.

Of all the horse shit calls in the wide world of football.

There better be a penalty on every single corner for the rest of the season if *that* is a penalty.

The idea that Bentancur with one arm is pulling down Dan Burn is laughable. VAR is ridiculous.
