Angry Joelinton tells Manuel Urgarte to meet him in tunnel after Newcastle win

Joelinton summed up Newcastle United’s fighting spirit in the hammering of Man United at St James’ Park.
As stand-in manager Jason Tindall withdrew the midfielder to help him avoid a ban, he was helped off the field by Bruno Guimaraes as sparks started to fly in this feisty Premier League fixture. But as the Toon star went off he made his feelings clear to South American rival Manuel Ugarte.
The pair were involved in a verbal spat as Joelinton was substituted before the £40million man gestured towards the tunnel and pointed to Ugarte to join him after the game! Thankfully, Joelinton avoided the yellow card that would have landed him a two-match ban and he must now negotiate the midweek clash against Crystal Palace to get through to the run-in without a suspension.
