Brentford 1-2 Crystal Palace: Ref tells Eberechi Eze he made mistake over disallowed goal

By Total Football News

Crystal Palace striker Eberechi Eze said the referee told him he made an error as the official’s “monumental mistake” denied the forward a brilliant goal in his side’s loss to Brentford.

Eze found the net directly from a wide free-kick with the match goalless, but referee Sam Barrott had already given a foul after Will Hughes clashed with Nathan Collins.

Newcastle’s away form has left a lot to be desired, and when Toney slotted in Bryan Mbeumo’s cross in just the third minute it looked like being another frustrating afternoon away from
