da betway: Leeds United reporter Phil Hay shared his views on a controversial incident against Newcastle United involving Dan James.
da betsson: And, as to be expected, Hay’s Twitter post had plenty of Leeds fans talking on social media.
The Whites made it five league games without a win for the first time under Marcelo Bielsa with a 1-1 draw at St James’ Park.
Raphinha gave Leeds an early lead, and Leeds should’ve possibly been given a penalty after James collided with Joe Willock inside the area.
Mike Dean had a clear view of the challenge but decided not to award a penalty, with VAR also not getting involved.
Hay revealed he didn’t get a replay of the tackle on Friday night but now believes that Leeds had a ‘very strong shout’ for a spot-kick.
