Eddie Howe has revealed that he always tells his Newcastle United players to 'stand up for each other' after Kieran Trippier's team-mates came to his aid against Everton.
Tempers flared just before half-time of Newcastle's 1-0 win on Wednesday night after Anthony Gordon went down inside the box following a challenge by Dan Burn. Trippier, unimpressed, rushed over to let Gordon know exactly what he thought of his attempts to win a penalty.
A furious Gordon then squared up to Trippier before Fabian Schar arrived on the scene and repeatedly pushed the Everton star. Within seconds, there were 17 players from both sides sizing each other up and Nick Pope, Bruno Guimaraes and Amadou Onana were among those who were shoved.
