‘The emotion can get the better of you!’ Dan Burn explains his bust-up with Kai Havertz in Newcastle’s win over Chelsea as the pair clash AGAIN months after elbow incident

Dan Burn has played down his bust-up with Kai Havertz at the tail end of Newcastle United's 1-0 win over Chelsea on Saturday.

The pair previously clashed in March, when Chelsea's attacker escaped a red card, despite elbowing the 30-year-old Magpies defender, in a challenge which was described at the time as 'reckless'. The 23-year-old German received a yellow for it, and it was not changed by VAR.

Eight months later, as the hosts were clinging on to their slender lead in the dying stages of the match at St James' Park, they squared up again as part of an on-pitch brawl.
