Eddie Howe spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Newcastle's draw against Brighton: "That's what VAR is there for [the penalty]. I'm happy for VAR to make those calls. I thought the third one was a stonewall but we got there is the end.
"I've no major criticism other than maybe we were not creative enough and not at our clinical best in front of goal.
"When you're 1-0 down you have to be grateful for the point. We're certainly stronger with it than without it."
On the prospect the race for the Champions League will go down to the final weekend of the season: "I felt that months back. We've got top quality teams fighting for a massive prize. We just hope we're in there."
