Newcastle United's opener against Fulham stood because goalscorer Sean Longstaff did not handle the ball. The ball then fell to Longstaff, who volleyed Newcastle in front at Craven Cottage. Just as that goal stood, so, too, did Longstaff's on Saturday because the goalscorer, himself, did not handle the ball. Fulham boss Marco Silva simply stated it was a 'handball' after the game and questioned whether it was, indeed, 'accidental'. Eddie Howe, for his part, was just relieved the goal stood.
