Two of the three penalty kicks were blown away by VAR, Newcastle draws Brighton, and the situation is serious in the Champions League

On the evening of May 4, in the 35th round of the Premier League, Newcastle drew 1-1 with Brighton away, continuing the league's away record to 8 games. In this game, Newcastle had three penalties, but VAR's intervention changed the referee's penalty result twice. Before the end of the game, they finally got a penalty for the third time, and Isaac scored the ball to help the team get a draw. In the first half of the game, Newcastle created more threats. Barnes suddenly used a cold arrow outside the penalty area and was saved by Weirbrugan from the baseline. Willlock drove straight into the left and shot slightly above the crossbar. However, in the 29th minute, Newcastle, who had repeatedly missed the chance to score, was punished. The 19-year-old young player Mingtai, who once played for Newcastle, received the ball and entered the penalty area, and scored with a wonderful arc shot straight in the far corner, helping Brighton take the lead.

After changing sides, Newcastle showed stronger fighting spirit. In the 55th minute, Viver was already carrying a yellow card and flew to Nali, but the referee Paulson did not give a penalty, causing controversy. Subsequently, Gordon, who came on the bench, was knocked down by Lamptai for the first time. The referee initially awarded a penalty, but the VAR review showed that the foul occurred outside the penalty area and the free kick was changed. In the 72nd minute, the dramatic scene appeared again. The referee determined that Van Heck knocked down Willok in the penalty area and awarded a penalty, but VAR's intervention led to another change of judgment.

In the 87th minute, Newcastle, who continued to put pressure on the opponent's defense, had a penalty kick opportunity for the third time. Ayari opened his arm to touch the ball when blocking Scher's free kick. After VAR's long review, the referee finally awarded a penalty. Isaac calmly took the penalty and hit the lower left corner of the goal, setting the score at 1-1. In the end, Newcastle scored 1 point on the road. After this game, Newcastle only led Nottingham Forest, which had one game less, and the situation of hitting the European seats is still serious.
