Andros Townsend to wrap up the points for Palace but somehow scuffs wide at the far post.
Even Roy Hodgson has his head in his hands.

BBC football expertNow, for Southampton, that’s two more players missing for the Newcastle match – they are already seriously depleted as we know from looking at tonight’s starting XI and the players on the bench.
It’s not going to be a good few days for the manager.

Mike Dean couldn't give it quick enough.

Was it a dive from Anthony Martial?
VAR having a look of course.
There is a SLIGHT touch and the Frenchman tumbles over.

Liam: With VAR offsides, could they not just have a 10cm or 20cm margin of error, with any possible offside call within this - benefit of doubt goes to attacker. I think most fans would agree.
Geoff King: Can someone tell me how the VAR official decides exactly when the ball is kicked in offside decisions? Getting it wrong by 0.1 seconds would make the difference of a few millimetres when looking at the position of the players.
VAR solution - Like DRS in cricket, give each team 1 review a game. If they really feel aggrieved by a decision, they can choose to refer to VAR. If correct, they keep the review. If wrong, they lose it.
