Eddie Howe has taken the sting out of any concerns between him and Anthony Gordon after the £45million man's emotional reaction to being taken off.
The half-time Newcastle substitute was substituted himself in second-half injury time over concerns on a knock. The pair were both smiling and had arms around each other minutes later despite Gordon's unhappy reaction to being taken off.
After the game Howe said: "From my side, there was 30 seconds left and he was down holding his ankle so I put an experienced player on the pitch. It is no reflection on his time on the pitch (to take him off)."
