“It’s slapstick” – Matthias Jaissle reacts to Fulham 1-1 Newcastle

Newcastle United manager Matthias Jaissle described Fulham's late equalizer as "slapstick" following a 1-1 Premier League draw on Saturday. Jacob Murphy put Newcastle ahead with an 80th-minute strike, but Rodrigo Muniz equalized just three minutes later to ensure the points were shared. Despite the dropped points, Jaissle insisted his team showed clear improvement and took a step in the right direction.

Jaissle also criticized the decision to disallow a first-half Dan Burn goal after Yoane Wissa was penalized for holding Timothy Castagne. The manager noted that Newcastle has struggled to manage games late after scoring first, but emphasized that his squad is steadily progressing ahead of the international break.
