Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez: "Both the penalty and foul leading up to it were very doubtful.
"We had six players out. Jonjo Shelvey was not there for us today but we did a good job and it was a pity. We showed last year that we finished 10th and didn't make mistakes in terms of decisions.
"We don't have any issues. We have some injuries and it's something we have to manage."
