GRAHAM POLL

NEWCASTLE’S Aleksandar Mitrovic may well have escaped the attention of referee Neil Swarbrick but I fully expect the FA’s disciplinary panel to charge him retrospectively. Mitrovic committed the cowardly offence of an off-the-ball elbow on West Ham’s Manuel Lanzini in an incident virtually identical to the offence which led to the Hammers’ Marko Arnautovic’s red card a week earlier. To rub salt in the wound, the Serb then scored Newcastle’s third goal when he should have been taking an early bath.
