They’ve shown a few replays of the incident, and nothing egregious sticks out. Seems it was ruled out on the pitch for a Joelinton handball; however, from one of those angles, the ball seemed to hit the Newcastle forward on the side of his body only. Just a free kick, nothing more, a yard or so outside the box on the right. Armstrong is a concussion substitution, by the way. Mara’s presence forces Schar into the concession of a corner on the right. Almiron one-twos with Longstaff and enters the Saints box from the right. 62 min: Walker-Peters drives down the right and crosses for Ward-Prowse, who becomes the next player to try a Mark Hughes Special. Armstrong can’t force the rebound home from a tight angle, then the ball breaks to Lyanco on the edge of the box.

A cross comes looping into the Newcastle box from the right. 70 min: Down the left, Edozie drops a shoulder to get past Trippier again with absurd ease.
