‘I don’t get it’ – Sean Dyche left baffled by something that happened to Everton against Newcastle

Everton manager Sean Dyche expressed confusion over the lengthy VAR review process that eventually led to Everton being awarded a penalty in their 1-1 draw with Newcastle United. The incident occurred when Everton’s Ashley Young was brought down by Newcastle substitute Paul Dummett, leading to Dominic Calvert-Lewin converting the spot-kick in the 88th minute, which cancelled out Alexander Isak’s earlier goal for Newcastle. Despite the successful penalty, Dyche was puzzled by the extended time taken by VAR to confirm the decision, especially after Everton had been denied a penalty in their previous match against Bournemouth. Dyche praised Calvert-Lewin for his hard work and the impact he had on the game after coming on as a substitute. He also mentioned a near miss by Jimmy Garner, whose composed finish hit the inside of the post, highlighting the team’s current run of luck where such chances don’t always result in goals[14].
