Newcastle United and Crystal Palace played out an entertaining goalless draw at St James' Park on Saturday, after the home side saw a second-half goal controversially ruled out.

The Magpies thought they have broken the deadlock when Tyrick Mitchell headed into his own net only for the goal to be ruled out for a foul on Vicente Guaita by Joe Willock after a pitchside VAR check by referee Michael Salisbury.

But replays showed that Mitchell pushed Willock into the Palace goalkeeper, much to the frustration of the home crowd when the incident flashed up on a big screen.

Palace had Guaita to thank for coming away with a point after the Spaniard saved well from Alexander Isak, Sven Botman on two occasions and Joe Willock.
