Fans think Bruno Guimaraes should have been sent off against Arsenal for an incident involving Jorginho.
It has been a feisty first half at St James' Park, with the scores all level at the break.
However, there have been plenty of talking points from the first half, with VAR at the centre of controversy once again in the Premier League.
After VAR decided Kai Havertz's sliding challenge on Sean Longstaff on the touchline was just a yellow card, Guimaraes may have escaped a red.

The Newcastle midfielder appeared to elbow his opponent in the head, but VAR were not interested. You can watch the clip below.
Meanwhile, supporters have slammed the decision "disgraceful" on social media.

"knew exactly what he was doing. Both he and Havertz should be off," one person tweeted.
"Absolutely disgusting from VAR," another added.
While a third wrote: "Now this is a red card, going in with the elbow like that…. The games absolutely gone. One rule for one player and one rule for another. It’s crazy how disgracefully awful the consistency in such a high level sport."
"Clear red. It was intentional as well," a fourth tweeted.
