CRAIG HOPE: After exceeding expectations to qualify for the Champions League in 2022-23, this season was a more trying one for Newcastle. They were booted out of the Champions League at the group stage, lost six Premier League games in seven over the winter period - 14 across the 38 games - and were knocked out of both cup competitions at the quarter-final stage. The Magpies struggled with an injury crisis during the season, and despite improving in the final months of the season, they missed out on Europe despite finishing seventh - after Manchester United kicked them out by winning the FA Cup.

FULHAM 0-1 NEWCASTLE UNIONTED — DOMINIC HOGAN AT CRAVEN COTTAGE — Eddie Howe's side has been battling, and the Magpies' 1-0 victory over Fulham on Saturday may have sparked questions about European football.

CRAIG HOPE AT ST JAMES' PARK: Some players are within themselves, seeking to see what they do. Others, as well as the minority, have a direct effect on colleagues and help them perform better. Joe Willock is one of Newcastle's most popular players. For the second time this season, starting in a Premier League XI made all the difference at St James' Park on Saturday. Remember last week's Dan Burn debate - and the week before that and the week before that - about the left back needing to be dropped? He started against Wolves and was never bothered.

Manchester United and Brighton have each sustained 28 injuries, while Tottenham, Nottingham Forest, and Crystal Palace have all been dealt with 27 lay-offs. Liverpool and Chelsea have each sustained 27 separate injuries, highlighted by the combined 19 absentees from their matchday squads for the Carabao Cup finals at Wembley on Sunday.

NATHAN SALT AT KENILWORTH ROAD: Hojlund started the season without a league goal for the first four-and-a-half months, but he continued his purple patch in front of goal at Kenilworth Road after 37 seconds followed up with a chested attack after seven minutes. The Dane has been a revelation since Boxing Day, when he scored his first Premier League goal for United. Since Hojlund's debut in the league, no player has scored more times than him. Hojlund's opener set a record by being the youngest player in Premier League history to score in six consecutive games, defeating Joe Willock's record with Hojlund's old team, who ruled it aged 21 years and 14 days.

During the Magpies' FA Cup win over Sunderland on January 6, the Brazilian was forced to leave. The 27-year-old had been expected to miss around six weeks, but the decision to now means the player will be out before May.

Willock is expected to return to action in a week or two weeks, according to Mail Sport. Since being diagnosed with an achilles problem, the midfielder has been out for more than two months. Barnes, who suffered his foot in his second game for the Magpies in September, may be back before Willock. The £38 million winger has been productive, but there has been a lot of pain given the agony he suffered when returning from December.

Joe Willock told Arsenal players that the ball had gone out in the build-up to Newcastle's controversial goal that resulted in them a 1-0 victory over the Gunners in the Premier League last month. Willock was after a shot by Jacob Murphy that seemed to be going out for an Arsenal goal-kick before Willock chased the ball and crossed into the box. Joelinton scuffed the ball back to the waiting Gordon, who then tapped the ball into the goal amid a slew of Arsenal defenders and goalkeeper David Raya.

Manchester United's plans for Saturday night's Premier League match against Newcastle United were jeopardized after their flight was postponed. On Saturday morning, Erik ten Hag's crew was scheduled to fly north-east from Manchester Airport at 11 a.m. However, when the passengers arrived at the airport to drop their cars off at 10 a.m., they were told that due to the weather and technical difficulties, their flight was cancelled.

In the midst of a string of tumultuous VAR calls in the English top flight this season, a former Premier League referee has sluggishly described PGMOL's extensive renovations as a "waste of money." Stockley Park received over £1 million worth of tune-ups ahead of the 2022-23 campaign to upgrade the 'elite performance' VAR hub, which includes a state-of-the-art gym, modern architecture, and plush meeting rooms for pre- and post-match debriefs. Populous, a multinational design company that also participated in the design of Tottenham Hostpur Stadium, has been involved in the formation of the facility's redevelopment, which now includes an 'elite conditioning space' for match officials and a 'designated recovery space' in an attempt to ensure officials are in peak physical condition.

It is expected to be the most tense goal of the entire Premier League season. After a rare triple check by the Video Assistant Referees, Anthony Gordon's winner for Newcastle United's match against Arsenal on November 4 was only determined after. VAR Andy Madley and assistant VAR Stuart Burt discussed whether Joe Willock managed to keep the ball in play in the lead-up to the goal, whether Joelinton fouled Gabriel while throwing the ball back across, and whether Gordon was offside when he scored.

Following Arsenal's humiliating loss to Newcastle on Saturday, Chris Sutton believes Mikel Arteta has made himself seem 'like a clown' for slamming the highest of refereeing in England. After Anthony Gordon's match-winning goal was allowed to stand, the Spaniard was left fuming after the final whistle at St James' Park, when Bruno Guimaraes avoided punishment for a suspected elbow on Jorginho. Gordon's attack passed through three separate VAR checks before being allowed to stand, with referee Stuart Attwell and VAR official Andy Madley determining that Joe WIllock had kept the ball in play, Joelinton did not fouled Gabriel in the build-up and that the goalscorer was onside.

Ian Wright, a former Arsenal striker, has slammed VAR after Joelinton is accused of fouling Gabriel Magalhaes in the build-up to Anthony Gordon's victory over the Gunners. Gordon was set up by teammate Joelinton, but many followers have argued that the Brazilian pushed his countryman in the back to win the header, with VAR finding there was no foul. There was plenty of debate over whether Joe Willock kept the ball in play during the buildup, as well as the drive, and whether Newcastle were offside too.

After his Arsenal colleague Jorginho refused to shake hands after Saturday's clash at St James' Park, Newcastle United captain Jamal Lascelles was left 'fuming.' Newcastle denied the Gunners their first Premier League defeat of the season after Anthony Gordon's controversial winner needed a triple VAR check. Lascelles claimed after the tumultuous match that the Italian midfielder snubbed his handshake after being befuddled by Arsenal's defeat, the Italian midfielder snubbed his handshake.

One could see immediate fireworks as soon as Mikel Arteta stepped into the match press conference, with red eyes and a face like thunder. Anthony Gordon's winner passed three separate VAR checks, condemning his team to their first league loss of the season, according to a hyperbolic, rageful speech. In the end, there was no conclusive camera angle to show Joe Willock had not kept the ball in play; Joelinton's call on Gabriel was not deemed not a foul; there was no obvious camera position to determine if the ball had fallen to Gordon via the Arsenal or Newcastle player so it could not be ruled offside. In VAR's books, this corresponded to a "no clear and obvious mistake."

Following Arsenal's 1-0 loss to Newcastle on Saturday, Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville have both slammed the integrity of refereeing in England. Arteta was left fuming after the final whistle at St James' Park, where Anthony Gordon's match-deciding goal was allowed to stand, while Bruno Guimaraes avoided suspension for a suspected elbow on Jorginho. Gordon's decisive strike went through three separate VAR checks before being allowed to stand, with referee Stuart Attwell and VAR official Andy Madley finding that Joe WIllock had kept the ball in play, Joelinton had not fouled Gabriel and that the goalscorer was onside.

The club is behind the manager after 'yet more intolerable refereeing and VAR mistakes,' according to the statement. Fans, players, and executives 'deserve better' from PGMOL, according to the publication.

Ian Wright has disagreed with Dermot Gallagher's explanation of the controversial decision to allow Antony Gordon's goal to stand during Newcastle's 1-0 victory over Arsenal on Saturday, claiming that the ball 'looked out of place.' Joe Willock had managed to prevent the ball from going out for a goal kick despite it appearing to cross the byline in the build-up to the 64th minute champion. The goal passed through three segue VAR checks, but officials found no misconduct, a finding that was slammed by Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta after the final whistle.

Following Newcastle United's 1-0 victory over Arsenal on Saturday evening, the club has condemned racial abuse delivered to Joe Willock and Bruno Guimaraes on social media. Willock was responsible for holding the ball in before crossing for the game's sole goal, while Guimaraes was allegedly lucky to have avoided a sending off for an elbow on Jorginho in the first half. After the match, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was vocal in his condemnation, but it now appears that some people crossed the line with their outrage directed at certain Newcastle players on social media pages.

Gary Neville has claimed that officials made the 'correct' decision to award Newcastle's controversial winner over Arsenal. Anthony Gordon scored in the 64th minute to give the hosts all three points despite the drama that ensued. Joe Willock kept the ball in play before crossing, a possible foul by Joelinton, and whether goalcorer Gordon was offside were all investigating.
