Sky Sports pundits Sue Smith and Stephen Warnock disagreed with former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher and says Fulham should have had a penalty prior to the one that was given against Newcastle United. Like the majority of those watching the game, the duo felt Dan Burn was fortunate to still be on the pitch after bringing down Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira inside the area.
However, referee Robert Jones waved away Fulham's protests, with VAR siding with the on field decision. Gallagher told Sky Sports: "Not a foul, minimum contact, referee - if you see - waves straight away, tells the player to get up. Look at the ref here in the back he waves it away straight away.
"So for me, not a foul. If it was a foul it would have been a red card, but I don't think it's a foul."
