After the final whilst several Newcastle players walked over to the travelling fams to show appreciation for their support.

Goalscoring hero Joelinton then threw his shirt into the crowd, in the direction of a young fan.

But it sparked bedlam as supporters began tussling over the top.

The child clung onto the jersey as a fan on the left tried to clutch it from his grasp.

Another fan also attempted to grab the shirt away before stewards tried to intervene to resolve the dispute.

Meanwhile, fans around those involved seemed oblivious as they celebrated another impressive win.

It is now six Premier League wins on the bounce for Eddie Howe’s side.

And they are just four points off league leaders Arsenal, though have played two games more.

The Magpies also have a seven-point cushion to fifth-placed Manchester United.

They are also in the Carabao Cup quarter-final after beating Bournemouth 1-0 last week.
