Newcastle denied famous win in Paris

Newcastle United were denied a much needed win in Paris on Tuesday night when Kylian Mbappe scored from the penalty spot in the 97’. The awarding of the penalty came after both VAR and the referee looked at the incident, with many, including Ally McCoist, describing the decision as a ‘disgrace’.

"It's absolutely never a penalty... at this level it's a disgrace"

Key Points:

• PSG go 2 points ahead of Newcastle with the draw

• Newcastle need to beat Milan and hope the already qualified Dortmund beat PSG

• That was Mbappes 43rd Champions League goal, and his 5th penalty

#Golf⛳ - Woods targets a tournament a month in 2024

Briefly: The 15-time Major tentatively hopes to play once a month next season but admits he's heading into the unknown as he returns to action for the first time in six months at the Hero World Challenge this week.

"My game feels rusty; I haven't played in a while," Woods said. "I had my subtalar fused. I'm excited to compete and play, and I'm just as curious as all of you are to see what happens because I haven't done it in a while.

"I can tell you this, I don't have any of the pain that I had at Augusta or pre that in my ankle. Well, other parts are taking the brunt of the load, so I'm a little more sore in other areas, but the ankle's good. So that surgery was a success."
