\nNEWCASTLE: Eddie Howe has slammed the decision to disallow what looked to be a Newcastle United winner against Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n
\nWith the Magpies dominant but struggling to break down a resolute Palace defense, United looked to have done just that when Tyrick Mitchell turned the ball into his own net.<\/p>\n
\nHaving given the goal, referee Michael Salisbury was then told to check his decision with use of the VAR screen at the side of the St James\u2019 Park pitch. And after some deliberation, he chalked off the own goal for a foul on Palace keeper Vicente Guaita, with the match ending 0-0.<\/p>\n
\nHowever, replays showed Mitchell shoved Joe Willock into Guaita before turning into his own net.<\/p>\n
\nAnd Howe was not impressed with the decision which cost his side two valuable Premier League points on home turf.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI didn\u2019t think it should be disallowed,\u201d said the head coach.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI thought it was a push on Joe Willock in the build up to the ball coming in. Joe\u2019s momentum is fixed from that point and carries him into the goalkeeper.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWithout that push, there\u2019s no way Joe would have gone in with that force. For me it\u2019s not a foul, if anything it\u2019s a penalty. I was very surprised with the outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWhen pushed on why officials may have come to that decision, Howe elaborated.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: \u201cI think they (the officials) were swayed by the fact \u2014 and this is just my opinion \u2014 that the goalkeeper stayed down. And that ultimately led to the goal being disallowed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nUnited have now drawn four of their first six Premier League games this season, recording just one win. However, it is a return which does not quite represent the sum of their efforts, with performances and chances created much improved from this time last season.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cYeah, very much so,\u201d Howe said when asked if he was frustrated.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI thought the level of performance was very good today. We created chances in every phase: Possession, counter-attack and set plays.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe lads were very committed to their performance today and were physically very good off the back of a very difficult week.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI\u2019m just really disappointed with the final action, the final finish wasn\u2019t there today.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHowe continued: \u201cIt was just one of those days where every presentable chance that came and went added to the next one that we got a few minutes later. It was incredible really because as I say, they were all different.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThere\u2019s no way we could do that again if we tried. But the pleasing thing is, we are creating those moments and look like a time that can score at any moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nOn the flip side, defensively, United kept another clean sheet, their third of the season.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe very positive thing is we didn\u2019t concede at the other end,\u201d said Howe.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cOn a day like that, it is very easy to get beat 1-0 on a counter-attack late in the game when you\u2019re desperately trying to push men forward.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI thought the players did very well to control those counter-attacks because that is Crystal Palace\u2019s strengths.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe\u2019re kicking ourselves again really, as we were against Liverpool because we needed to win that game today.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nIn just his second game for the Magpies, it was record signing Alexander Isak who missed the biggest opportunity of the encounter.<\/p>\n
\nThe Swede charged down a hesitant clearance from Joachim Anderson and raced through on goal, but just as he tried to lift over Guaita, the Spaniard stretched out an arm to deny.<\/p>\n
\nOf the miss, Howe said: \u201cI\u2019ll approach him in an individual way. Of course, you treat everybody as the individual they are.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHe\u2019ll be disappointed to miss that, he\u2019d back himself to score and I\u2019d certainly back him to score.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWhether he\u2019s gone for a certain type of finish, that\u2019s obviously in his game but he didn\u2019t quite execute it right.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe starved him of the ball a little bit in certain parts of the game. I think we\u2019re still getting used to how he wants to receive the ball and where he needs to go.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI desperately wanted him to try and get on the ball more, especially in the attacking third. He came to life a little bit in the second half and had certain moments of real quality.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHe\u2019s had no training time with us, he\u2019s been pushed right into action and I think he\u2019s done very well. A lot of improvement is needed from us as a team to try and serve him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nNewcastle United are next in Premier League action when they travel to the London Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 11 to take on West Ham United.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
