Callum Wilson duly scored the only goal of the game, but Frank was furious.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;First and foremost, I think we played a very good game. I think everyone knows it&#8217;s very difficult to come here,&#8217; he said. &#8216;The way we performed was very impressive.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I think it was an even game where we could have won it. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s very frustrating when it&#8217;s decided on a decision that I think is wrong.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/16\/23\/75515401-0-image-m-4_1694901935906.jpg\" height=\"466\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Thomas Frank criticised the decision to award Newcastle their penalty in Brentford&#8217;s defeat<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/16\/23\/75515405-0-image-a-2_1694901925388.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Goalkeeper Mark Flekken was adjudged to have fouled Anthony Gordon on the byline<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/16\/23\/75515417-0-image-a-3_1694901928560.jpg\" height=\"428\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Callum Wilson stepped up to convert the spot-kick and hand the hosts all three points<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Normally, I never complain about penalties. This time, I think it was a wrong decision. It was an on-field decision, if they hadn&#8217;t reffed it, the VAR wouldn&#8217;t have overturned that one.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We got told when a similar decision happened against Tottenham, when the goalkeeper&#8217;s coming out and he has contact with the player, but pulling out just before, then it shouldn&#8217;t be a penalty. That&#8217;s what we got told three, four weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;m very sure when this goes to the panel of refs, Howard Webb will come back and say &#8220;Sorry, it was not a penalty&#8221;. That will be even more frustrating. We do our best. I demand a big character from my players today, they showed it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I always demand big character from the refs in a situation like this. This is a fantastic home crowd with a fantastic atmosphere, but they affect the decisions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;In my opinion, it&#8217;s not a penalty. It happens, it&#8217;s not the first time there&#8217;s a wrong decision in the world. We need to look at the performance, and the performance was very good.&#8217;<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12527089\/Thomas-Frank-WRONG-decision-Newcastle-penalty-Brentford.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Thomas Frank lambasts decision to award Newcastle&#8217;s match-winning penalty against Brentford as &#8216;WRONG&#8217;, as he insists a potential apology from officials will be &#8216;even more <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportstoft.com\/soccer\/frank-lambasts-wrong-decision-to-award-newcastles-decisive-penalty\/\" title=\"Frank lambasts &amp;apos;WRONG&amp;apos;
