A Leeds penalty appeal was turned down early in their match against Newcastle after the ball made contact with the hand of Newcastle's Matias Fernandez-Pardo from a corner kick.
The incident drew an immediate reaction from Leeds players and supporters, who were convinced the ball had clearly struck Fernandez-Pardo's arm in what appeared to be a handball situation inside the box.
However, the match officials assessed the situation and chose not to award the spot kick, waving away the protests and allowing play to continue. No further review of the decision was indicated at the time, leaving Leeds without what they felt was a golden opportunity to take an early lead from the penalty spot.
