Newcastle captain Lascelles: I apologised to Dubravka

Newcastle United captain Jamaal Lascelles has apologised for his reaction to Martin Dubravka's howler on Monday night.

Lascelles argued with the goalkeeper after his mistake allowed Wolves to steal a 1-1 draw in injury time.

"On the pitch there and then, I was just angry with everything," Lascelles told Sky Sports News.

"It wasn't necessarily to do with him, it was just to do with everything. They scored at that minute but when I looked back at it, it was as clear as anything that it was a foul.

"So I apologised to him and I shouldn't really be doing that to him. I hold my hands up but at the same time I've got a job to do.

"I haven't got the armband because I'm technically the best or gifted. It's because I'm honest and I'm hard-working. I won't change in that aspect."
