Newcastle didn’t end up paying for Schar’s rash red card NEWCASTLE: Newcastle United on Saturday overcame a 28th-minute red card to Fabian Schar for a headbutt to beat Southampton 1-0 through a Joelinton goal in their Premier League opener. For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport The Magpies didn’t end up paying for Schar’s rash reaction when he responded to a push from Ben Brereton Diaz by placing his forehead against that of the Chile striker, who fell to the ground. Schar received a straight red card. The match was goalless at the time, but Newcastle earned all three points when Alexander Isak collected a misplaced pass by Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy and set up Joelinton to score in the corner.
