Mark Clattenburg says Jonjo Shelvey should have seen red for poor challenge on Paul Pogba

Newcastle United succumbed to two second-half goals at the hands of Manchester United at Saint James Park on Wednesday night.

The result further dealt a blow on their survival chances as they slipped down to 15th in the table and are now two points above the relegation zone.

One of the game’s talking points was Jonjo Shelvey horror tackle on Paul Pogba, which referee Andre Marriner didn’t punish.

Former EPL ref Mark Clattenburg, however, believes the Newcastle midfielder should have been sent off immediately, and his United counterpart should also have been punished for retributing later in the game.
