Eddie Howe refrained from launching an attack on referee Paul Tierney in his post-game press conference on a night when other managers may not have been able to control themselves.
Howe cut a calm figure as he faced journalists with the adrenaline still pumping after he'd watching Elliot Anderson head home what could have been the winner. Howe was arguably as animated as he's ever been celebrating a Newcastle goal as he leapt up in delight when Anderson's header crashed into the net.
But there would soon be a cruel twist as VAR flagged up Sean Longstaff's position and urged Tierney to check on his monitor. Having originally awarded the goal, Tierney seemed to be swayed by the situation.
