Newcastle star Joelinton turns air blue in 14-man tussle as Jason Tindall escorts him off pitch
Newcastle United star Joelinton picked up a yellow card in the clash against Bournemouth and had to be pulled away from trouble at half-time by Jason Tindall.
The assistant coach intervened as Bournemouth stars made a beeline for Joeilinton shortly after he'd been booked for kicking Justin Kluivert from behind. The Dutchman had netted twice in the first half against the Cherries.
And this led to things boiling over with Joelinton taking the law into his own hands and swiping Kluivert's legs from behind. Joelinton turned to foul means after Anthony Gordon had been chopped down by Tyler Adams.

The American was later booked along with Joelinton while Kluivert also picked up a yellow card for his trouble. Referee did restore order after the likes of Bruno Guimaraes, Alexander Isak and Dan Burn moved in to calm things down.
As the half-time whistle sounded a furious Joelinton turned the air blue and Tindall made his way over to escort the star down the tunnel for half-time. Newcastle made changes at half-time with Sven Botman taken off and replaced by Fabian Schar.
The South American enforcer has now picked up nine yellow cards and was fortunate not to be sent off in the reverse fixture in August. Back then Joelinton was accused of a WWE move on Neto but avoided a red card on the South Coast.
The £40million man emerged for the second half but was skating on thin ice with ref Attwell urging the players for calm as they went off after the first half.
