Newcastle United vs Brentford
Brentford are still pushing to try and get something out of this game, but their passing is suffering from their frantic need to get it forward. Jensen tries to hook it forward for Mbuemo, but it's an easy interception for Schar.

Wissa stretches to make the interception, and Maupay rushes onto it before sliding it to Schade to his left. He knocks it past Burn with his first touch, but the defender recovers well to block the shot.

Collins attempts to drag Wilson back, and when that doesn't work, he stretches across him to block the run. He's complaining, but it won't stop the referee from showing him a yellow card.

NO PENALTY! VAR is having a look at the penalty decision, and they've asked Craig Pawson to go over to the monitor. Barnes did have his hands on Mbuemo, using the player to get up to meet the cross, which caused Mbuemo's arms to come up. After watching the replays, the decision is overturned.

PENALTY TO NEWCASTLE! The hosts have another spot-kick! Gordon clips a good cross in from the right and Mbuemo is marking Barnes at the far post. He nods it down onto the Brentford forward's hand, which is level with his shoulder, and the referee points to the spot again.

Schade makes a great run down the left and gets a yard on Botman to play it towards the near post. There isn't enough curl on the pass to pick out Wissa, and Pope comfortably collects.
