Newcastle manager Steve Bruce felt his side were on the wrong end of a new approach to VAR after West Ham were awarded a key penalty with the game evenly poised at 2-2.
Bruce felt referee Martin Atkinson should have been encouraged to check his monitor after ruling that Jacob Murphy’s challenge on Pablo Fornals was a foul even though he appeared to get the ball and the Hammers midfielder didn’t appeal.
Although Freddie Woodman saved Michail Antonio’s 63rd-minute spot-kick, Tomas Soucek fired in the rebound and the visitors went on to win 4-2.
