Reece James and Jason Tindall clash after Joelinton foul during Newcastle's game against Chelsea... with the Blues captain ordering the Magpies assistant to 'sit down'

Reece James told Newcastle assistant manager Jason Tindall to 'sit down' during Chelsea's game against the Magpies at St James's Park.

The Blues captain was once again in the starting XI as he returns to full fitness following a lengthy injury spell and played a vital role for his side in the match, though he didn't last the game.

Just before half time he clashed with Tindall, who has made headlines in recent times for his prominent role on a match day as assistant manager.

Newcastle midfielder Joelinton was booked by referee Simon Hooper before the break for an arm in the face of James, who expressed his frustrations and appeared to call for a harsher punishment.
