As much as a last-minute winner can bring utter euphoria for those who seize the spoils, it can be especially hard to take for the opposing outfit left with little to take home for their efforts.
Still, it can hardly excuse the childish response of members of Eddie Howe’s coaching staff as some on the Newcastle bench were spotted hurling projectiles at their opposing numbers in the technical area.
It’s an incident that will surely warrant some kind of review from the FA – and a punishment of some sort for violent conduct.
