Pardew fumes at ref as Magpies held

Alan Pardew was fuming with the referee as Newcastle failed to turn their dominance into a first-leg victory over Metalist Kharkiv in their Europa League last-32 tie last night.

Papiss Cisse twice had goals ruled out for offside, with replays suggesting at least the first should have stood. “Both goals are onside,” Pardew said.

“Fundamentally they have got them wrong.”
