Newcastle were awarded a penalty at the end of the first half against Wolves with the score level at 1-1 after Schar beat Hwang to the ball when he was attempting a clearance.
Referee Anthony Taylor’s decision to give a spot-kick was checked by the VAR and replays showed contact was minimal.
Instead of sending Taylor to the screen to have another look at the decision the penalty was upheld
O’Neil, the Wolves boss, was furious with the officials. “It was a scandalous decision,” he said. “Terrible, I thought. Terrible on-field decision and terrible that VAR did not intervene so, yeah, I thought they got it badly wrong.
