Harvey Barnes, who consistently started in pre-season, was disappointed not to be selected for the starting XI against Southampton, fueling his frustration with manager Eddie Howe.
Despite Barnes’s strong pre-season performances, which included starting five matches, he found himself on the bench for Newcastle's opening Premier League game.
Newcastle's 1-0 victory against Southampton, marked by Joelinton's decisive goal, came during a challenging game where they played with 10 men after Schar's red card.
The game highlighted Newcastle's resilience, as they managed to secure a win despite Southampton controlling possession and creating more scoring opportunities.
