Isaac Hayden has been hit by an FA charge after making comments about the performance of the referee in the 1-0 defeat against Chelsea. The midfielder reflected the views of thousands of fans when claiming Newcastle had been up against "12 men" at Stamford Bridge.
On the day, Newcastle were denied a penalty after Jacob Murphy was hauled down and then Kai Havertz did not receive a red card for elbowing Dan Burn in an ugly incident before the Germany star went on to score the winner to add salt into the wound.
Hayden had tweeted: "Some performance from the boys against 12 men today. Proud to be associated with the club is an understatement."
