Liverpool could have had 2 pens too. Was very card happy on LFC fouls and didn't show cards for identical fouls committed by Newcastle players.
For the Newcastle one, it didn't look like a pen in realtime and from the refs point of view. Looked like very minimal contact. VAR replays suggested it probably was a pen, but not enough to overturn the on-field decision.
The final whistle was blown way before, back when the ball was in the Newcastle 3rd, but they played on and didn't hear it.

The fella who pulled Cucurella's hair owes his team and fans a great big apology. What a moronic thing to do and nice to see the ref having no time for that shit.
On the reverse, gobsmacked by the refereeing red carpet rolled before Liverpool once again: a stonewall penalty denied to Newcastle at 2-2 and then blowing time during a Newcastle 3v1 break. The mind boggles, except it's sadly to be expected.
