Callum Wilson has admitted that Jacob Murphy's wave may just give Southampton some extra motivation when the Saints face Newcastle United in the second-leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.
Murphy bid Duje Caleta-Car farewell after the Southampton defender was sent off for a second bookable offence after taking out Allan Saint-Maximin in the closing stages of Newcastle's 1-0 win in the first-leg on Tuesday night. Caleta-Car was far from happy as he walked off the field at St Mary's and the Croatian muttered a few words in Murphy's direction.
The exchange happened just a few seconds after Caleta-Car pushed Bruno Guimaraes after taking issue with how the Newcastle midfielder roared in delight when referee Stuart Attwell brandished the second yellow. Bruno's team-mates were quick to step in and Joelinton and Murphy both shoved Caleta-Car before the latter waved the centre-back off the field.
