Matthias Jaissle calls out ‘really soft’ penalty decision after Newcastle draw with Liverpool

Newcastle's newly appointed manager, Mattias Jaissle, expressed his disagreement with Liverpool's penalty decision during their 2-2 draw. The penalty, awarded in stoppage time, allowed Liverpool to equalize the match, securing a point for both teams. Jaissle criticized the penalty as "really soft" and stated that he did not agree with the decision.

Liverpool players, including Dominik Szoboslai, defended the penalty, claiming that Lewis Hall fouled Victor Munoz in knee-on-knee contact. Meanwhile, Newcastle players Micah Richards and Daniel Sturridge also believed the penalty was justified. Despite the controversial call, Jaissle acknowledged that Newcastle had put in a good performance and moved on from their 2-1 deficit.
