Newcastle United goalkeeper Matz Sels probably wasn't expecting to be dropped from the club's starting line-up following his strong start to the season, and he definitely wasn't expecting a card from Toon supporters to help lift his spirits.
But that's exactly what happened when Karl Darlow was picked to start in Tuesday night's 2-0 win over Barnsely, instead of Sels.

The Reddit post also revealed that the card had been passed to a Newcastle official, who had agreed to pass it on to the 24-year-old.
