    Miguel Almiron flashes a cross across the face of goal. If only another Newcastle man had gambled and got in there.

    Max Kilman has an industrial style strapping on his knee, a really heavy knee and he's not moving comfortably at all. Callum Wilson is looking to exploit that.

    More fury from the Wolves fans as Mario Lemina slides in to take the ball but also a chunk of Joelinton, who goes to ground. I mean, that's just a hard but fair challenge isn't it?

    Wolves 1-2 Newcastle

    This is really competitive, summed up by Miguel Almiron and Boubacar Traore going shoulder to shoulder over 20 metres before the latter bundles over the former.

    Pedro Neto strikes the free-kick but hits it straight into the wall.

    Newcastle clear and break, with Nelson Semedo needing to stay alert to charge over and steer Callum Wilson away from a shooting chance.

    Wolves 1-2 Newcastle

    A free-kick to Wolves, which is greeted with huge cheers.

    Pedro Neto drives towards the box and is held back by Dan Burn. Not sure the Newcastle defender did much wrong to be honest.

    Wolves do superbly to work the ball to Nelson Semedo in space on the right but his cross into the middle is cut out by Newcastle and cleared.

    Can we talk about Callum Wilson's goal per minute ratio. It was the lowest in the league before today. Now his injuries are being managed, the guy is a goal machine.

    Wilson hatrick. Has to be!

  10. 'I've not been given answers'published at 18:35 British Summer Time 28 October 2023

    FT: Bournemouth 2-1 Burnley

    Burnley

    Burnley manager Vincent Kompany, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "The story of this game can definitely lead to a lot of disappointment, anger even. You leave here with a very bitter feeling.

    "I’m not even having a go at the officials on the pitch. I completely understand that you can make a mistake. It’s the process that worried me. For us, there’s a clear handball. It’s a clear handball call, but there’s no VAR check. We’ve just spent seven minutes checking to see if [Jay Rodriguez] is offside or not. It’s probably the width of a hair.

    "But the second one, the handball, I don’t get it. The frustration is there at the moment.

    "I’ve definitely brought it up [with the officials]. I think it was a respectful conversation. It’s not something I can change now, but I’ve not been given answers."

    On Rodriguez's disallowed goal: "I could see them changing angles, drawing different lines. Sometimes the line turned up green, which means it’s onside, and sometimes it turns out red, which means it’s offside. It’s sometimes like going to the casino and putting all your chips on a colour."

    VAR is there to determine a clear and obvious error! If they are not 100% sure it is then they have to go with the original decision - whether that’s correct is another debate!!

  12. 'Playing the teams around us will be important'published at 18:34 British Summer Time 28 October 2023

    FT: Arsenal 5-0 Sheffield United

    Sheffield United

    Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom, speaking to Match of the Day: "We've had lots of frustrating things in terms of how we started the season.

    "We prepared with a squad for six weeks and that changed before the first game of the season. Then we started signing players but also started losing players through injuries.

    "It's not having to change the team, it's preparation and getting bodies on the training pitch."

    On playing Wolves, Bournemouth and Burnley in their next four games: "We've played six of the top nine [in the league] and now we're going to be playing teams around us which is going to be important."

  13. 'Very different goals but all very Nketiah goals'published at 18:32 British Summer Time 28 October 2023

    FT: Arsenal 5-0 Sheffield United

    Arsenal

    Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, speaking to Match of the Day: "We had an emotional week, travelling to two very tough away games and today was a different context.

    "Sheffield United are fighting for their lives, they are organised and the big teams have struggled to beat them.

    "We had to be patient but as well we had to do things better than the first 10-25 minutes. We had to attack them better and play the game where we wanted."

    On Eddie Nketiah's hat-trick: "There were three very different goals, but all very Eddie Nketiah goals.

    "The first one where he can read the space and timing to get away from the defender and show the composure in the box, the second the ball lands quickly and he has to hit it fast, the third is a superb strike."

    On Nketiah giving up the chance to score a fourth from the penalty spot: "Apart from being an excellent footballer he is an incredible person, his determination is different to anyone else, especially his humbleness and the way he looks after people.

    "What he did for Fabio [Vieira] was a really good touch."

    VAR can see no contact on the replay - but they confirm the penalty. Nothing to do with technology. The Premier League have poor officials.

    John, Epsom

    Joey: I just don’t see what purpose VAR serves anymore. That is exactly the kind of mistake that VAR is supposed to overturn. Ridiculous

    Jack: VAR as a system is superb, the issue is the people using it.

    Interesting chat with Antoine Semenyo for BBC Match of the Day about Billing’s winner. Told me they’d discussed the possibility of catching James Trafford off his line in a team meeting.

    Iraola is a ‘details’ man. That’s perhaps one tiny nugget that has paid off today.

  16. 'I don't understand VAR'published at 18:30 British Summer Time 28 October 2023

    FT: Bournemouth 2-1 Burnley

    Burnley

    Burnley manager Vincent Kompany, speaking to Sky Sports after Jay Rodriguez's late disallowed goal against Bournemouth: "I'm not against VAR - it's just part of what this world is going to become. It has to be improved, it has to get better.

    "I just wonder whether it's the technology or human error again. I don’t know if [the problems are because] it’s so remote or if it’s a lack of communication.

    "At the moment, I don’t understand it."

    Dean: As a neutral, there is no way you can think thats a penalty. There is next to no contact on the player, and the attacker initiated it. Not sure how VAR should deal with that though

    Field: My god the game is absolutely dead. On no planet is that a penalty. Not one. I think every fan has had enough now.

    Everytime VAR get asked a question they get it wrong, that is never a penalty. Not a fan of either team but it ruins the match.

    It's been a great first half. Two teams looking to win; going forward, pressing high, good in possession. Two teams that are looking to score goals.

    Wolves will feel aggrieved that the penalty was given against them and not given to them.

    Wolves 1-2 Newcastle

    Boos from the Wolves fans. They feel very aggrieved at the decision to award that Newcastle penalty.

    This is going to fire up old grievances too as they really do feel they get a rough deal from officials in these parts.

    Nah, I don't think there's no contact with the hand there. If there is it is the tiniest graze and the ball hits Guimaraes' knee first to send it there.
