Newcastle were denied victory after a controversial VAR decision ruled out an own-goal from Tyrick Mitchell in an entertaining 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace.

The hosts had the ball in the net early in the second half when Kieran Trippier’s free-kick was turned in by the Palace defender although Joe Willock was adjudged to have fouled goalkeeper Vicente Guaita.

Newcastle had already hit the post in the first half from Miguel Almiron’s volley before seeing Willock’s strike pushed onto the woodwork by Guaita.

Newcastle had 22 shots to Palace’s 19 but neither side could find the net at St James’ Park as Nick Pope made nine saves to keep a third clean sheet.
