Newcastle boss Howe warns his players against Grealish revenge

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has warned his players against seeking revenge on Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish.

Grealish, filmed during City's bus parade after winning the Premier League in May, joked that one of the secrets behind their final-day comeback against Aston Villa was Riyad Mahrez being substituted because he'd 'played like Almiron'.

"We need to play the game with cool heads," said Howe.

"We need to have fire in our hearts, but we need to play with discipline. We can't lose that. We need to keep 11 players on the pitch in every game this season."

Howe also defended Almiron, adding: "There's so much more to come from Miggy. He epitomises the way we want to play out of possession but, on the ball, he's done some very good things and he's continuing to improve."
