Anthony Gordon’s equaliser for Newcastle away to Tottenham on Saturday afternoon was not without its controversy.
It came after an attempted pass from Lucas Bergvall in the build-up struck the hand of Magpies midfielder Joelinton.
When the ball came Gordon’s way, he made no mistake by rifling into the corner to make the score 1-1.
A justification for the reasoning behind the goal swiftly followed.
Joelinton handball was not deliberate, arm was in natural position & it did not lead immediately to goal. VAR protocol correct to allow goal to stand #nufc https://t.co/tmxb3DAAW8

But do you agree with it? Or should the goal have been ruled out?
