The Championship side had a penalty taken away by a massive mistake from official Keith Stroud as he misapplied the laws of the game
Referee Keith Stroud apparently has some issues understanding the rules regarding penalties.
During the Championship showdown between Burton Albion and Newcastle United the match official made a massive blunder in taking away a penalty from the Magpies after Dwight Gayle encroached in the penalty area as Matt Ritchie approached the spot kick.
Rather than following the laws and having the penalty re-taken, Stroud and his team decided that the encroachment would result in the awarding of a free kick to Burton!
