Newcastle centre-back Fabian Shea recorded the English Premier League (EPL) 'Exit No. 1' in 2024-2025 season. It was 28 minutes in the first half.
The moment Cher grabbed the ball and turned his back, Southampton striker Ben Brereton Diaz collided strongly with his body. Surprised Cher couldn't hold back her anger. He shoved Brereton with his hands and then stuck his face in his head.
In the end, Cher received a direct red card. Brereton was warned. Cher was bewildered, but the Premier League secretariat issued a red card to Cher for his violent conduct. VAR (video reading) confirmed the referee's decision.
In the process, Cher's fellow centre-back Dan Byrne tried to get Brerenton up by pointing out the 'Hollywood Action' but got into a physical fight with the Southampton player.
Newcastle are outnumbered by 10 men. The atmosphere has also become grim. But the goal was scored in a ridiculous scene.
Newcastle opened the goal in the first half due to Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy's absurd mistake. McCarthy's ordinary pass was caught on the toes of Newcastle's Alexander Isak. Joelinton, who received Isaac's pass, scored the goal.
However, another collision broke out while heading to the locker room after the first half. Southampton defenders Jan Bednarek and Dan Burn, angry at the loss, engaged in a war of words in a narrow tunnel. Dan Byrne then grabbed Bednarek by the collar. Fortunately, there was no bigger incident as they restrained the two.
The goal didn't go any further. Newcastle beat Southampton 1-0 in the first round of the EPL in the 2024-2025 season, which ended at St. James' Park in Newcastle, England on the 18th (Korea time).
Southampton were promoted to the EPL after one season. I had a great chance in the first game, but I couldn't laugh. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe was relieved.
"I think it's really harsh for Cher, but we shouldn't even give the referee the possibility of giving him a red card. Lessons will be learned from this case.'
