End of twitter postBenitez - 'We need VAR now'published at 09:39 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2018

Matt Doherty headed home the rebound after Diogo Jota's shot was pushed into his path in the 95th minute.
Image source, Getty ImagesAyoze Perez's superb header had pulled Newcastle level after Jota gave Wolves the lead before the break at St James' Park.
Magpies defender DeAndre Yedlin was sent off by referee Mike Dean after 57 minutes - with the score at 1-1 - and Newcastle had a rejected penalty claim for a Willy Boly challenge on Perez.
"We need VAR now," said Benitez. "In this game it would have changed everything. We were doing enough to control the game. How can you explain those decisions to all our fans?"
