Newcastle were left furious after they were denied a point at Anfield in the most dramatic fashion with co-owner Mehrdad Ghodussi branding the finale “a joke”.
Fabio Carvalho’s winning goal for Liverpool came in the 98th minute – three minutes after the game should have concluded – and it led to a furious scene on the touchline with coaches from both benches needing to be separated.
Television footage on BT Sport showed an object being thrown from the direction of the Newcastle bench towards Liverpool’s staff but neither Eddie Howe nor Jurgen Klopp saw anything that they could comment on.
