Mark Clattenberg Claims Anthony Taylor Made Error During Man Utd's Win Against Newcastle

Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenberg believes Anthony Taylor made a mistake not awarding Newcastle a penalty when they were 2-0 up against Manchester United.

After goals from Kenedy and Yoshinori Muto put the visitors two goals clear after ten minutes, Jonjo Shelvey's free kick appeared to strike the arm of Ashley Young inside the area, but Anthony Taylor instead pointed for a goal kick.

Newcastle eventually went on to lose the game 3-2, although Mark Clattenberg thinks Rafael Benitez's side were hard done not to be awarded a penalty.
