Joelinton gives Newcastle semi-final lead against Southampton

Adam Armstrong was challenging for the ball along with Sven Botman, the VAR official says the ball hit Armstrong's arm just before the ball went in and the goal is ruled out.

That's both sides who have now had a goal disallowed for a handball following a VAR check.

  • Against his old side, Adam Armstrong pounces and Newcastle's lead evaporates after only two minutes.

    It is a scrappy goal, it takes a deflection. But the ball is in the net.

    BUT..

    Wait.

    We have a VAR check.

  • Joelinton missed a glorious chance earlier in this half, but no-one will mind now as he scores to the delight of the Newcastle fans.
