Newcastle
December 2025
Arsenal and Tottenham fans united in anger after VAR told referee Thomas Bramall to award Newcastle a late penalty against Spurs for Rodrigo Bentancur’s grapple with Dan Burn, which Anthony Gordon converted to give the hosts a brief 2-1 lead. Bramall initially waved play on before VAR intervened, leading to a lengthy monitor review and a changed decision that left both fanbases furious, while Gordon’s goal was later cancelled out by Cristian Romero’s stoppage time equaliser in a frantic finish.
