Newcastle manager Eddie Howe later dismissed the post-match scuffle as 'just emotions'.
He said: “The game was there for us to win in the second half after an even first half.” 'I don't think we played particularly well.
“I thought we had them boxed in and then we conceded the first goal and that changed the momentum. It was a frustrating evening, a missed opportunity.'
