- Bruce’s team beaten in first game under new owners
- Fans praised for helping alert urgent need for medical attention
Steve Bruce has admitted his future is out of his hands after enduring defeat in Newcastle’s first match under their new owners but he praised the actions of home supporters for potentially saving a fellow fan’s life after he needed urgent medical attention.
Newcastle have confirmed the supporter is now awake and responsive in hospital following the incident during the first half of the 3-2 defeat by Tottenham that led to play being suspended for more than 20 minutes by the referee Andre Marriner.
