Thought the ref called it right. Genuine attempt to block the ball.

Contact with the trailing leg was not dangerous, and Longstaff acted up to make the most of it even though he was evidently not harmed. Newcastle players then absolutely lost it and tbh lucky the ref only booked 3 of them. Guimares should have been sent off.

It is worth saying though that I might be biased. Having watched Newcastle a few times, their team culture is to play absolutely at the edge of the rules. They dive, cheat, complain, whine, elbow, leave a foot in, and generally abuse the ref every chance they get. They’re a rotten team, and it must come from the manager as an intentional strategy.
