The Premier League's Independent Key Match Incidents Panel has ruled the referee and the VAR were correct to award Newcastle United's winning goal against Arsenal.
The best thing to do is flick it backwards for a throw in or corner, not head it forwards right into the danger zone. I just doubt he expected a 6 foot 3 giant made of muscle to shove into his back with all of his weight.
For all the anger over this, rightly or wrongly. A better defender just heads the ball forwards instead of trying to be cute and flick it on.
He (and White for switching off and not being in a position to stop the cross) is at fault for the goal more than anyone else.
If he heads the ball forward it goes into the goal…

That’s fair. I’m more annoyed about White stopping completely, and didn’t close Willock down immediately despite Jorginho screaming at home to do so.
That and how Raya flopped and completely missed the ball. Any one of those variables change and they probably don’t score.
