Late drama at Newcastle again

Newcastle had that one in the bag and then it all goes sideways at the death, proper classic stuff from this fixture, you could almost see the panic coming and then one touch in the box and the whole place is losing its mind
 
Liverpool looked like they were trying to drag Newcastle deeper and deeper late on and it worked because the box kept getting busier and the panic started creeping in, once that happens a challenge like Hall's is exactly the sort of thing the ref will give and Szoboszlai was never missing from there
 
Was in the pub and the whole room just froze when the penalty was given because everyone had basically accepted Newcastle had done enough and then all of a sudden there was that weird silence where people looked at each other like surely not, and then Szoboszlai steps up and absolutely nails it and the Liverpool lads in the corner are going mental while the Newcastle fans are just standing there staring into space, proper nightmare for them. It turned into one of those moments where every pint table starts arguing about whether it was a penalty, whether Hall should have done better, whether the ref was too quick, and by the time the replay came on nobody could even hear the commentary because half the pub was shouting over each other, absolute madness from start to finish
