Newcastle fans have taken to Twitter to react after Josh Maja’s goal for Fulham against Tottenham was disallowed last night.
The ex-Sunderland striker thought he’d slammed in a second-half equaliser.
However, Davinson Sanchez’s clearance hit Mario Lemina’s arm in the build-up, which led to VAR disallowing the goal in the 63rd minute.
The decision was a tremendously harsh one, and hopefully, Fulham aren’t relegated as a result of it.
However, as you might expect, Newcastle fans were happy to see their relegation rivals suffer a bit of misfortunate, as it boosted their survival hopes.
Had Maja’s goal stood and the game ended 1-1, Fulham would’ve been just two points behind the Magpies with 11 games to go.
We shouldn’t even be mentioning Newcastle in a relegation battle.
Steve Bruce has sleepwalked his way into a fight for survival.
The bottom three – Fulham, West Brom and Sheffield United – looked to be set in stone for a while, but complacency has crept into St James’ Park.
Quite simply, Newcastle have to beat West Brom this Sunday, or things will look seriously bleak.
The Baggies are currently nine points behind the Magpies, and have played a game more.
Let’s see how the Newcastle fans on Twitter reacted to Maja’s goal being disallowed…
