PREMIER LEAGUE : SATURDAY – NEWCASTLE UNITED VS SOUTHAMPTON – 17/08/2024

IT WAS A FEISTY AFFAIR OVER AT THE NEWCASTLE UNITED VS SOUTHAMPTON MATCH, WITH A CLASH BETWEEN FABIAN SCHAR AND BEN BRERETON DIAZ CAUSING A BIT OF BAD-TEMPERED “BUTTING OF HEADS” DRAMA ON PITCH – WHICH CONTINUED INTO THE TUNNEL AT HALF-TIME, WITH SOME ARGEY-BARGEY BETWEEN DAN BURNS AND JAN BEDNAREK, AS NEWCASTLE WEREN’T HAPPY WITH THE REF’S DECISION ABOUT GIVING SCHAR THE RED CARD, BUT A VAR CHECK HAD MADE REF CRAIG PAWSON RIGHT IN SENDING HIM OFF! SCHAR WILL NOW RECEIVE A THREE-MATCH BAN! THERE WERE ANOTHER 19 SHOTS FOR SOUTHAMPTON, INCLUDING 4 ON TARGET, AND NEWCASTLE HAD ANOTHER 3 SHOTS, INCLUDING 1 ON TARGET! AND IT WAS, IN FACT, JOELINTON’S GOAL AT 45 MINS., WHICH WON THE DAY, AS THE ONLY GOAL OF THE MATCH! NO DOUBT, HIS TEAM-MATES BOUGHT HIM A FEW ‘CAUIM’S’ (BRAZILIAN BEERS) AFTERWARDS!
