Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle criticizes the late penalty decision that gives Liverpool a 2-2 draw at St James’ Park. He says the foul is “really soft” and argues the call influences the result after Newcastle were held back by Liverpool during the match.
Across the outlets, the dispute centers on Liverpool being awarded a spot-kick in stoppage time and scoring from it. The Independent, Yahoo Sports, and Soccer News report Jaissle’s view that the penalty was not a fair or convincing one. The Mirror adds that Jaissle specifically comments on the incident involving Lewis Hall, describing it as “not good for football.”
