Football Digest: Liverpool pick up huge win at Newcastle

Newcastle United captain Jamaal Lascelles was involved in a late-night brawl that left one of his friends unconscious, according to reports. The incident occurred after the Magpies’ 1-0 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium earlier this month.

Lascelles and his group were reportedly threatened with being shot when the trouble initially broke out. The 29-year-old was punched in the back of the head and had to duck to avoid a vodka bottle that had been launched in his direction, the report adds.

Authorities are investigating the incident, which has not left Lascelles with permanent damage, although no arrests have been made.

Northumbria police and Newcastle United have both been approached by Express Sport for comment.
