Newcastle 1-2 Arsenal: Why was Arsenal’s penalty overturned at Newcastle?

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville on Sky Sports: “Viktor Gyokeres kicks it against Nick Pope’s feet. Pope has still blocked Viktor Gyokeres.

“Gyokeres touches the ball and then there is a touch and then he takes him down after that.

“I’m definitely torn. Nick Pope does get a touch and that is usually the barometer for referees and goalkeepers and penalties.”

Former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin on BBC Radio 5 Live: “Yes, he got a touch on it, but he still took out the player. But I am looking at it from the forward’s perspective.”

Match of the Day pundit and former Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart: “If Pope touches the ball, then it’s not a penalty – and he does touch it before he hits Gyokeres.

“If you break it down and see why it’s not been given, then you can’t argue with the decision.”

Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp on Sky Sports: “He gets a touch but I’m not sure it’s enough to negate the foul. I’m amazed it got overturned.

“Even though he got a touch, he still fouls the player. Gyokores anticipates it, gets away from it and he clears him out.”

Former Newcastle striker Les Ferdinand on Sky Sports: “It’s a great touch. When I first saw it, I shouted, ‘I think Pope gets a touch’. He goes through; he does get a touch. As a centre-forward, I probably do want the penalty.

“Once the goalkeeper gets a touch and he deviates the ball, it’s not a penalty. I don’t know what Pope can do there.”
