That just means that he dived. And he did. And it should have been a yellow card and a free kick to Newcastle.
On the subject of penalties, and I think I have said this before on here, but if the authorities are interested in changing any other aspects of the game , they should change how penalties are awarded. How is it that a striker could be running away from goal, in the furthest corner of the penalty area (20 plus yards from goal), get fouled and be awarded a free shot on goal from 12 yards ? In whose mind could that ever have been considered fair punishment ?
