da lvbet： Some Newcastle United supporters have been reacting on social media after the Football Association confirmed that Sean Longstaff will serve a three-game ban for the red card shown against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
da dobrowin： Longstaff was issued his marching orders in the 82nd-minute of the Toon’s 1-1 draw on Sunday, with referee Kevin Friend deeming the 21-year-old’s challenge on Ruben Neves to be worthy of a straight sending off.
Toon boss Steve Bruce slammed Friend’s decision after the final whistle, feeling the call was harsh and that Neves’ exaggerated reaction contributed to Longstaff being sent off.
Bruce conceded that Longstaff was not in control of his high-boot, but added that the position of his foot was an after product of the midfielder’s earlier challenge.

Newcastle could have challenged the FA’s decision to uphold a three-game ban, although opted against lodging an appeal following further reviews carried out on Monday.
Longstaff will now be unavailable for selection against West Ham United, Bournemouth and Aston Villa, before returning to the fold when the Magpies host Manchester City at the end of November.
Bruce will have Isaac Hayden back on hand after the midfielder’s three-game ban for a red card picked up against Leicester City expired at the weekend, though.
