Overview
- Newcastle have asked referees’ chief Howard Webb to explain why Trevoh Chalobah’s challenge on Anthony Gordon was not penalised, with VAR official Peter Bankes deeming it a side‑to‑side shielding action within playing distance.
- Eddie Howe said he still views the incident as a clear penalty and would not coach such challenges, noting Newcastle’s struggle to turn leads into wins this season.
- Wilfried Nancy earned his first Celtic victory, 3-1 over Aberdeen, after Dylan Lobban’s first‑half red card for a foul on Daizen Maeda, though pundits cautioned the pressure on Nancy persists.
- Fulham beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 through a first‑half penalty awarded by Anthony Taylor after Douglas Luiz fouled Kevin, with Raúl Jiménez converting to maintain a perfect 11‑for‑11 Premier League penalty record.
- Forest manager Sean Dyche called the spot‑kick a tough call and felt Taylor had an off night, lamenting his side’s lack of edge as Fulham pulled further clear and Forest remained five points above the drop zone.
