Ryan Fraser not being awarded a penalty in Newcastle's 4-0 thrashing against Manchester City was a "disgusting decision", says Alan Shearer.
But neither referee Martin Atkinson nor the video assistant referee (VAR) felt it warranted a spot-kick, with Joao Cancelo coming across to clear.
Shearer said there is a problem with "the people running" VAR.
He told BBC Radio 5 Live: "It was a disgusting decision. I think the officials have been awful today and they have been awful for a long time now. I think certainly this season, so many terrible decisions.
"Not that it would have made any difference to the scoreline because Manchester City are a fantastic team and deserved to win, but that decision was ridiculous.
