#PLStories- Ralph Hasenhuttl not happy with referee decision before Newcastle’s winner #SAINTSFC #NUFC

BOSS Ralph Hasenhuttl admitted his frustration over a decision in the build-up to Newcastle’s second goal, during their 2-1 defeat at St Mary’s. The Saints manager insisted referee Kevin Friend should not have awarded a free-kick, which eventually paved the way to a corner for the visitors on the south coast. From that set-piece, former Saints left-back Matt Targett’s corner was headed down at the far post by Dan Burn and Bruno Guimaraes improvised to back-heel the ball into the roof of the net for the winner. Hasenhuttl, who saw Stuart Armstrong’s opener wiped out by Chris Wood’s first goal for the Magpies, was left frustrated by the pivotal passage of play. He said: “After the break, I think the second goal – we (the sides) had a foul on the middle line, what for me wasn’t a foul. “Then a long free-kick which leads to a corner, then from a corner it leads to a goal. “It’s frustrating but we have to speak about the fact that it’s not possible we need two or three goals to win the game. This is fact - one must sometimes also be enough “Although we could also score more from today – but this is the difference, as I said, and we have to turn this thing around in the next game here in the next one against Watford. “It’s a must to put it on our side.” Defeat left Saints with back-to-back losses in the division, with the St Mary’s side 10th in the league table.
