Newcastle 1–1 (0–1) Fulham
Fulham took the lead when Matt Ritchie was unlucky and put the ball into goal in a very awkward way.

But it was after 60 minutes that the most controversial event of the match occurred. Callum Wilson burst into Fulham’s defense with Joachim Andersen hot on his heels.
The Dane used illegal means against the Newcastle striker, who fell to the ground after getting less than 16 meters. Match referee Graham Scott resolutely pointed to the penalty spot, but was told by the VAR room to reconsider the situation via the VAR screen.
The referee was there for a long time, but he chose to give Andersen a red card, and the penalty to Wilson was maintained. That made Fulham manager Scott Parker furious after the game.
– I just saw the situation in the locker room. The VAR was hired to have the correct endings, and I understand that it can be difficult to get it all in the heat of the game. But what I just saw is something completely different.
– I am not saying this to defend that we did not win the game. But the contact occurs outside 16 meters, and when he enters the box he films. If the judge doesn’t see anything completely different from me, then I can’t understand anything. I have seen the situation in slow motion several times. I don’t understand that it’s possible, says Parker.
With one point, Fulham now has 10 points and the team cleared the drop line. Newcastle advanced to 12th place with 18 points.
Newcastle and Steve Bruce fought back after 2-5 for Leeds in the middle of the week. It was Fulham’s third straight draw. The London team came from 1-1 at home to Liverpool and 0-0 against Brighton.
