London –
José Mourinho declined to comment on the penalty awarded to Newcastle United in the game against Tottenham Hotspur. Mourinho did not want his comments to lead to punishment.
Tottenham must be satisfied to score a point when they host Newcastle in the Premier League. In a match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday (9/27/2020) WIB night, the Lilywhites were forced to draw 1-1.
Tottenham took the lead first thanks to a goal from Lucas Moura in the 25th minute. This lead lasted until the game entered the final minutes.
The drama took place in injury time. Eric Dier allegedly made a hand in the penalty area when Andy Carroll’s ball aimed at the Tottenham defender’s hand.
The match was stopped for a few minutes while referee Peter Bankes reviewed the VAR. After watching replays, the referee signaled the spot and awarded a penalty to Newcastle.
This decision made Mourinho immediately leave the game and enter the locker room hall. Meanwhile, Callum Wilson, who was running as executor, successfully defeated Hugo Lloris to force a tie.
On the penalty for Newcastle, Mourinho declined to comment because he did not want to be punished by the FA. The Portuguese coach chose to comment on the performance of Newcastle goalkeeper Karl Darlow.
“All I want to say is that my team is playing very well. I want to be on the bench in the next game and I don’t want to be fined (so I don’t want to talk about penalties),” Mourinho said. BBC Radio 5 Live.
“I think (Karl) Darlow (Newcastle goalkeeper) is the man of the match, unless you want to give it to someone other than a player.”
“Their goalkeeper was there to make saves. It’s fantastic,” he added.
With this result, Tottenham remains stuck in seventh place in the Premier League standings with four points from three games. Newcastle also have the same number of points, only losing on goal difference to Tottenham.
