Eddie Howe has hit back at Liverpool over time wasting claims - and defended his coaching staff and played after an ugly touchline clash.
Newcastle lost at Anfield to a goal from Fabio Carvalho on 97 minutes and eight seconds, in a spiky game that had Jurgen Klopp’s side fighting for their lives. Klopp’s staff accused the United bench of deserving the late defeat and there was an angry flare up between the staff and subs.
Howe insists the match should have been ended before the 98th minute. Five minutes of injury time had been announced by the fourth official. The United head coach says the “narrative” around Newcastle has changed and they are now facing increased friction in games because they play aggressive attacking football.
