The score was 0-0 between Newcastle and Fulham on Matchday 20.

The Serbian centre-forward had the opportunity to open the scoring, which he did... except that he touched the ball twice to score his penalty... When it came time to shoot on goal, he lost his balance and his right foot kicked the ball over his left foot.

And Nick Pope the doorman of Newcastle was taken on the wrong foot.

But the rules do not allow a penalty taker to touch the ball twice to get the better of the goalkeeper.

As a result, after this involuntary double contact, it is … a free kick which was logically awarded for Newcastle.

For the record, it was the Magpies who finally won at home (1-0), thanks to a goal from Alexander Isak (1-0, 89th).
