Newcastle Coach Criticises Late Penalty That Earned Liverpool 2-2 Draw

Newcastle’s coach has criticised the controversial 99th-minute penalty awarded to Liverpool, which Dominik Szoboszlai converted to secure a 2-2 draw. Referee Stuart Attwell pointed to the spot after Victor Munoz went down following a challenge from Newcastle defender Lewis Hall. The coach argued that the contact was a routine collision and said defenders would be afraid to challenge if such incidents were regularly punished. He praised Newcastle’s intensity, commitment and connection with the home supporters, saying the team showed clear signs of the football they want to play this season.
