Newcastle stars Anthony Gordon and Kieran Trippier have to be separated by team-mates in bizarre clash as players walked off the pitch with Toon WINNING 5-0 in Champions League play-off

Newcastle’s stunning first half against Qarabag was slightly soured by an apparent row between captain Kieran Trippier and four-goal hero Anthony Gordon.

The Premier League side produced a flawless opening 45 minutes in their Champions League play-off first leg to lead 5-0 courtesy of Gordon’s four goals and Malick Thiaw’s effort.

Gordon scored two goals from the penalty spot and it appears the latter one caused some tension between the goalscorer and Trippier over who was going to take it.
