The Newcastle vice-captain approached the travelling supporters who were voicing their displeasure after the 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth.

Dominic Solanke scored twice in the second half as The Magpies' seven-game unbeaten run in the Premier League came to an end.

Newcastle went into the match with 11 first-team players unavailable and Miguel Almiron was forced off with a hamstring issue after just half an hour into the game. 17-year-old Lewis Miley was handed his full Premier League debut with Bruno Guimaraes suspended.

After the match, one supporter in the away end appeared to hit out at the Newcastle players, and was promptly approached by the England international, who shouted in response: "Were the lads not giving everything? How many injuries have we got? How many injuries have we got?"

Trippier was questioned about the altercation on Sky Sports afterwards.

"The fans are emotional, of course they are," he said. "They have travelled a long way, they spend a lot of money to come and watch us. I was just having a chat with one of them, I said we are giving everything.

"There is no need to panic, we are still in a good position in the league, we are still in the Champions League, Carabao Cup quarter-finals, there is no need to panic.

"We got beat, we do apologise for that result, but the most important thing is that the lads are giving everything. We are giving more under the circumstances."

The result marks back-to-back defeats for The Magpies in all competitions after the 2-0 loss at Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.
