Ally McCoist was left stunned by Newcastle United’s late penalty against West Ham United, describing it as “absolutely crazy” and undeserved in their 4-3 victory over David Moyes’ side. The controversial spot-kick was converted by Alexander Isak, further increasing the pressure on Moyes and Kalvin Phillips.
McCoist argued that the penalty should not have been awarded, questioning the decision-making process that led to it. He expressed disbelief at the idea of penalties being given for players simply jumping in front of their opponents, calling the decision “mental”.
The match between Newcastle and West Ham was filled with controversy, with some questioning the validity of Mohammed Kudus’ goal for the Magpies and the circumstances surrounding the quick free-kick that led to it. Despite the debates and uncertainty, Moyes and his team must now focus on securing a win against Tottenham to keep their hopes of European football alive.
As they prepare for the upcoming local derby, Moyes’ side will need to put the controversy behind them and focus on the task at hand. With tensions high and pressure mounting, a victory against Tottenham is crucial for their season. Hopefully, this match will be free of any further drama that will overshadow the efforts of both teams.
