Newcastle United players involved in ugly train spat with fan

Newcastle were beaten 4-0 by Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

The Magpies were beaten 4-0 at the Emirates Stadium, a result which manager Steve Bruce described as ‘harsh.’

Newcastle quartet Danny Rose, Allan Saint-Maximin, Nabil Bentaleb and Christian Atsu elected not to fly home and were recognised by fans during a train journey back to Tyneside from Kings Cross Station.

The club have insisted the players did nothing wrong and were sitting quietly before a man was filmed giving them stick on the train.

It’s believed the players were on the train because they didn’t want to fly back due to Storm Dennis.

The group fans were asked to leave the area by the train crew.

Newcastle have another game in the capital this weekend when they’ll face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday (3pm kick-off).
