10 man Newcastle hold off Southampton challenge to get win on Premier League opening day

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.

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.
