EXPERT ANALYSIS: GARY NEVILLE BREAKS DOWN THE VAR DECISION ON LISANDRO MARTINEZ’S HANDBALL.
Gary Neville explains how "wrestling" with Malick Thiaw saved Lisandro Martinez from a handball penalty against Newcastle United.
Gary Neville said Lisandro Martinez got away without a penalty against Newcastle United because he was wrestling with Malick Thiaw. The Magpies wanted a penalty in the first half when Fabian Schar's shot was blocked by the Red Devils' Argentinian defender's arm.
The Video Assistant Referee checked it out but didn't call a penalty because they thought the two defenders were in contact with each other. Before the shot, they had been grappling during a corner, so they were close when Schar got the ball near United's goal area.
Eddie Howe's team was losing at Old Trafford after Patrick Dorgu scored first. But the visitors got better as the game went on and put pressure on the home team.
That looks like a penalty, Neville said. Schar shoots, and his arm is way up in the air.
But is it because he's pushing Thiaw? That might be why he didn't get called.
He's basically wrestling with the other Newcastle defender, so his arms are already up.
If Thiaw weren't there, it would definitely be a penalty. I think he might have been saved because he was wrestling with the other defender, and his arms were already up.
He's saying that because he was fighting with another player, his arms were already up, and he just didn't bring them down.
The visitors won 2-0 at Old Trafford the last time they were there, but they struggled to repeat that after a slow start.
Still, they put on some pressure, with Lewis Hall's hard shot hitting the crossbar.
Newcastle hasn't been doing well away from home, with only one win in their first few games.
The Magpies wanted to move up into the top half of the Premier League and get back in the running for the Champions League.
A loss would leave Newcastle in 11th place, six points behind Chelsea in fourth, and near the bottom half of the table before the holiday games.
On the second-to-last day of the year, Burnley is hosting the Magpies in a game both teams really need to win, with Burnley near the bottom.
Turf Moor has been good to Newcastle recently, with three wins in their last four, as Newcastle really wants a second league win away from home.
BRUNO SALTOR OFFICIALLY JOINS TOTTENHAM AS ASSISTANT COACH FOR THE NORTH LONDON DERBY
Tottenham appoints Bruno Saltor! Discover the new coaching team under Igor Tudor and the departures following Thomas Frank's exit.
Tottenham Hotspur just shook up their coaching staff, bringing in Bruno Saltor, a guy who’s worked with Chelsea and West Ham in the past.
Saltor’s stepping in alongside interim boss Igor Tudor until the season wraps up. Spurs let go of Thomas Frank earlier this month, and, like Manchester United, they’ve decided to go with a temporary setup for now and figure out the bigger picture in the summer.
Tudor, who’s managed clubs like Marseille, Lazio, and Juventus, is set to take charge for the first time this weekend in the North London derby against Arsenal. Saltor will be in the dugout for his first Spurs match, too.
If you’ve followed Saltor’s career, you might know he’s often worked with Graham Potter. That’s how he ended up at both Chelsea and West Ham. When Potter left Chelsea in 2023, Saltor took over as interim head coach. His one match in charge ended in a 0-0 draw with Liverpool. Frank Lampard replaced him soon after, and Saltor stayed on as part of the coaching staff until Mauricio Pochettino arrived, at which point he moved on. He later reunited with Potter at West Ham but left when Potter did in September.
Tottenham’s official statement confirmed the news: “Following the arrival of Igor Tudor as Head Coach until the end of the season, we can now confirm the appointment of three additional coaches to our Men’s First Team coaching staff. We welcome Bruno Saltor as Igor's assistant coach." Born in El Masnou, Spain, Saltor started his playing career in his home country before joining Brighton in 2012. He made 235 appearances there over seven years, then moved into coaching with the Seagulls after retiring in 2019. Since then, he’s picked up experience at Chelsea and West Ham.
Along with Saltor’s appointment, Spurs also announced some departures. Justin Cochrane, John Heitinga, and Chris Haslam are all leaving the coaching staff after Frank’s exit. The club thanked them for their efforts and wished them well.
GLASNER OUT? CRYSTAL PALACE CONSIDERING IMMEDIATE EXIT FOR BOSS AFTER DISMAL EUROPEAN DRAW
Oliver Glasner’s exit is imminent! Discover why Robbie Keane has emerged as the favorite to lead Crystal Palace out of crisis.
Oliver Glasner was supposed to stick around at Crystal Palace until the end of the season. That was the plan, anyway. But after another rough run of results, his exit could come a lot sooner.
Thursday night in Bosnia should’ve been nothing special, just a routine first leg against a team Palace should handle easily, with the real test back at Selhurst Park next week. Instead, a 1-1 draw against Zrinjski Mostar turned into another mess in a season that’s gotten uglier by the week for Glasner and Palace.
The travelling fans didn’t hide how they felt.
Palace have only managed one win in their last 15 games. That’s not a blip; it’s a full-on collapse, and it looks like Glasner’s time might be up even faster than everyone thought.
People at the top of the club have started openly asking if letting Glasner finish out his contract is actually hurting more than helping. He said back in January that he’d leave when his deal was up in the summer, but with results falling off a cliff and morale at rock bottom, those discussions have picked up speed.
Word is, Palace have already started looking for Glasner’s replacement, planning for a summer hire. But now, it looks like they might bring in his successor right away.
One name has shot straight to the top of the list: Robbie Keane.
TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook says Palace are considering Keane as a short-term fix if Glasner goes before the season ends. Keane’s reputation has soared lately. He won the Israeli Premier League with Maccabi Tel Aviv, then took the Hungarian league title in his first season at Ferencváros.
His win rate at Maccabi was over 73 per cent. He’s also done time as an assistant coach at Leeds and Middlesbrough. People who’ve played for him, like Ireland’s Callum O’Dowda, rave about him. O’Dowda said, “As soon as he opens his mouth, you want to listen. It’s phenomenal, really. On the coaching side,e he has been good.”
For now, Keane is still in charge at Ferencvaros, who are still in the Europa League, so prying him away won’t be simple.
Palace sit 13th in the Premier League, eight points clear of the relegation zone, but that gap feels less safe with every week they fail to win.
Tottenham even considered Keane as an interim manager before they went with Igor Tudor.
