A previous spat between Dan Burn and Kai Havertz sparked the unsavoury scenes at the end of Newcastle United's 1-0 win over Chelsea
Havertz elbowed Burn in the 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge back in April and the Magpies defender savoured the moment at the end of the game at St James' Park. Havertz somehow avoided a red card for the incident back in the spring.
Burn said after the game: "It was the emotion of the game wasn't it? Me and Kai had a few run ins before and it's just part and parcel of the game. It can get the better of you at the times.

"But when you are in that environment and clinging on in stoppage time and wanting to win the game these things happen."
In a crazy finale, Jamaal Lascelles was also booked for winding up Marc Cucurella while Jason Tindall also had to split up players after the whistle had sounded.
Looking back on the clash, Eddie Howe said: "Thankfully Joe Willock has come up with a great goal, but we were committed to everything today. The physical demands of that game were so high.
"I feel immense pride at how the players have performed consistently. Now the challenge is to maintain and enhance that."
