Jacob Murphy's conduct slammed after sarcastic reaction to Duje Caleta-Car red card

Newcastle winger Jacob Murphy trolled Southampton centre-back Duje Caleta-Car after the Croatian was sent off during his team's 1-0 defeat in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg.

The 26-year-old was given his marching orders after a cynical foul on Allan Saint-Maximin, with referee Stuart Attwell showing the defender a second yellow card. He was booked in the first half and then with five minutes remaining brought down the Frenchman, who was through on goal, before shoving Bruno Guimaraes which resulted in another card and sparked a brawl between the two sides.

To make matters worse, Caleta-Car was mocked as he left the pitch by Jacob Murphy, who appeared to wave at the defender as he walked towards the tunnel. Caleta-Car turned around in frustration at the Newcastle players, before focusing on Murphy and appearing to have a brief conversation with the Magpies star.
