Newcastle United manager Matthias Jaissle commented on the penalty decision awarded to Liverpool during stoppage time in their recent match. He described the ruling as 'really soft,' voicing his concerns about the officiating in the game.

The match, held at St James' Park, saw Newcastle take a lead before Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai converted a penalty in the dying moments. This goal earned Liverpool a draw, denying Newcastle a potential victory in their opening Premier League match of the season.

Jaissle's remarks reflect a common sentiment in football regarding the impact of late penalty decisions. The late equalizer by Szoboszlai was critical in shifting the match's outcome, raising discussions about the referee's judgment.
