Newcastle United staff appear to throw objects towards Liverpool bench

Fabio Carvalho's 98th minute winner for Liverpool didn't go down well on the Newcastle United bench, as one of their staff appeared to thrown something at the opposition technical area.

Tensions ran high at the end of Liverpool's win over Newcastle on Wednesday night, following Carvalho's extremely late winner in injury time.

The fact the youngster scored three minutes after the originally announced five minutes of added time certainly didn't go down well, with Newcastle or rival fans of Jurgen Klopp's side.

Liverpool fans weren't happy with the amount of time wasting that was going on from their opponents, which is why they got the extra three minutes to score, whilst the visitors wouldn't have been happy with the additional time.

And that annoyance seems to have really boiled over for one member of staff on the away bench, with footage appearing to show objects thrown.

Speaking about the situation at full time, on BT Sport, former Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given said, "You wouldn't encourage it but obviously emotions are really high on the bench as you can imagine from both benches. To give away a goal so late it's frustrating. 

"One of the guys on the Newcastle bench, I'm not sure if he started it, but I don't know if that's the no 2 for Liverpool on the pitch giving some signals as well.

"You don't like to see it, there's a lot of emotions, they've won so they're on cloud nine and the opposite to Newcastle, they're really gutted with how its finished.

"Jurgen, he looked really under pressure then. He didn't seem himself on the touchline.

"He was really aggravated with everything and maybe it's the pressure because obviously the United game and then the 9-0, everyone thinks they're going to turn up tonight and [win] 3/4-0 no problem."

The Magpies had taken the lead in the first half, when new signing Alexander Isak scored with a brilliant finish on his Premier League debut.

He might have added a second just 10 minutes after the half time break if it wasn't for the tightest of offside calls, and it ended up costing Eddie Howe's team.

Roberto Firmino equalised just past the hour mark and then Carvalho's goal, deep into injury time, decided the match in the home team's favour.
