Two decades ago, a similar scene was playing out in the Premier League
In the 81st minute of Newcastle's 0-3 defeat at home to Aston Villa on 2 April 2005, Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer got into a fight near the center of the pitch and the two teammates were barely separated by the other players.
The referee Barry Knight immediately showed the card to the two, and the “cotofenes” continued the match with only 8 players, after less than 10 minutes ago Steven Taylor had also been sent off.
Dyer was then handed a 3-match ban, while Bowyer picked up a 7-match ban, after 4 more were added to the original 3 for picking up his second red card of the season.
