Newcastle fullback Kieran Trippier explained confronting away fans after defeat at Bournemouth last night.

Trippier sought to speak to the Newcastle support at the final whistle.

"The fans are emotional," he told Sky Sports after the incident.

"They have travelled a long way. I had a chat with one of them, saying we are giving everything and there's no need to panic.

"We got beat and we apologise for that result but the lads are giving everything."

He added, "We wanted to play Champions League football and in every competition. This is what we want.

"We've lost a lot of players but this is when we need to stand up and give even more. The international break has come at a good time for us."
