Newcastle United fans rip into goalkeeper Karl Darlow for his performance against Swansea City.
Newcastle United’s Karl Darlow did little to show Rafael Benitez that he doesn’t need a new goalkeeper this month.
The Magpies could only draw 1-1 with bottom-of-the-table Swansea City at St James’s Park.
And Newcastle had to come from behind after Jordan Ayew fired the visitors ahead on the hour mark, but Joselu was on hand eight minutes later to restore parity.
It was a terrible result and Benitez’s side are only three points clear of the drop zone as a result, and fans of the Tyneside club have taken aim at Darlow over City’s goal.
The former Nottingham Forest keeper, a £3 million signing under Alan Pardew in 2014, did well initially to save an effort, but the 27-year-old pushed it straight into the feet of Ayew who made no mistake.
Some Newcastle supporters have questioned where Ciaran Clark and Jamal Lascelles were, but quite a lot believe that it must go down as another Darlow error.
