Howard Webb backs VAR penalty decision in Liverpool-Newcastle draw

Howard Webb affirmed the VAR decision to uphold a penalty awarded to Liverpool during their 2-2 draw at Newcastle on September 16. The penalty was given for a foul by Lewis Hall on Victor Munoz, confirmed by VAR official James Bell as knee-on-knee contact. Despite protests from Newcastle, Webb praised the focus of the officials. This incident follows a contentious penalty awarded to Nottingham Forest against Liverpool the previous week, which was later deemed an error by the Premier League's Key Match Incidents Panel.
