Newcastle United head coach Matthias Jaissle has spoken out against referee John Brooks after their 0-1 Premier League defeat to Everton, insisting that a foul on Fabian Schar in the build-up to the decisive goal should have been called.

Thierno Barry's strike settled the contest, but Jaissle believes the goal should never have stood. The Newcastle boss argued that Brooks ignored a clear foul on Schar in the moments leading up to Barry's finish, a decision that ultimately cost his side the match.

The defeat leaves Newcastle frustrated not only by the result, but by the manner in which it was delivered — with Jaissle making clear his dissatisfaction with the officiating on the day.
