Newcastle United are to make a complaint to the Premier League over VAR after being denied a goal in their 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace.

A Tyrick Mitchell own goal, was ruled out for a foul by Joe Willock on Crystal Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita.

Replays showed Willock was pushed into Guaita by Mitchell in the build-up, though VAR official Lee Mason told referee Michael Salisbury to visit his monitor, where he overturned his original decision and disallowed the goal.

The Telegraph says Newcastle are so incensed by the way they were treated by match officials and VAR so far this season that they have made a formal written complaint and are seeking an explanation.

Newcastle are growing increasingly frustrated with VAR as they have been denied two penalty calls in the draws against Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
