The Story in 60 Seconds

Newcastle United manager Matthias Jaissle is facing a possible touchline ban after receiving his second yellow card of the season from referee Robert Jones. Jaissle was booked after shouting at his own player, Matias Fernandez-Pardo, to get back up during a critical match moment, leaving the manager one card away from a suspension.

Jaissle expressed frustration over the booking, explaining he was merely instructing his player rather than protesting officiating. The incident follows earlier friction with Jones during a 2-2 draw with AFC Bournemouth, alongside tensions over a disallowed Dan Burn goal and unpunished fouls.
