Newcastle United player Anthony Gordon sends brutal message to officials over VAR controversy during Manchester United vs Newcastle after penalty denial

Even though Newcastle United lost 3-2 at Old Trafford, there was one very debatable VAR moment.

Gordon was angry that VAR didn’t give him a penalty after Sofyan Amrabat fouled him in the 35th minute. Gordon was set up to shoot, but Amrabat’s studs hit him on the ankle as he tried to take a shot.

All three of these teams’ games this season were officiated by Robert Jones, who waved off the protests. VAR, which was run by Jarred Gillett that night, looked into what happened but agreed with the on-field referee’s call, which made Gordon, his friends, and many people watching on TV very upset.

When Gordon talked to Sky Sports about the game afterward, he was clearly upset that the technology didn’t show a penalty. “I have watched it back and it is a clear penalty,” he said. Gordon told me. “I don’t mind if the referee makes a mistake on the field, but I don’t get what the point of VAR is.” Ofyan Amrabat hits me in the back and goes down my Achilles.

“I knew right away, which is why I didn’t appeal.” While I was waiting for VAR to check, I told my teammates, “It was a clear penalty.” I don’t see the point of it; either get better or get rid of it.

After the game, Eddie Howe agreed with his winger: “I thought it was a penalty.” To find the contact, you need to look at it one to three times. I believed VAR was good at that.

There was a lot of talk about VAR before the mess at Old Trafford. It was announced that Premier League clubs will vote on its future in the top league after Wolves put forward a move. At the Premier League’s AGM, clubs will decide if they want to keep using VAR.

That’s when the Premier League replied, “Clubs are free to make suggestions at Shareholders’ meetings, and we understand the concerns and issues surrounding the use of VAR.”

“However, the League fully supports the use of VAR and is still committed to working with PGMOL to make the system better for the sake of the game and the fans.”
