Joe Willock's disbelief at Newcastle United's disallowed goal against Crystal Palace

Joe Willock has spoken of his disbelief after being denied the chance to win it against Crystal Palace after a debatable VAR call.

The former Arsenal midfielder felt he was also fouled in the incident which saw ref Michael Sailsbury chalk off the goal when checking the monitor.

Speaking after the game, Willock said: "We had loads of chances and we have to put them away. We have to be clinical when you have a team by the scruff of the neck. I believe it should have been a goal [which was disallowed].

"The ball came across and I thought I got pushed in the back. Very disappointing."

He said afterwards: "We have to just focus on what we can control. We have a brilliant team and a manager.

"We have to look ahead to the next game. We have to stay positive. It was good performance."

Newcastle now travel to West Ham next Sunday.
