Referee Kevin Friend then sent Pardew to the stands and Newcastle went on to win the game 4-1.

After the punishment was announced, Newcastle said in a statement: "The Club and Pardew have accepted the decision and now wish to draw a line under the matter."

Pardew said he 'deeply regrets' the incident

Pardew added: "As I have made clear, I deeply regret the incident and again wholeheartedly apologise to all parties for my conduct, which I understand was not acceptable."

Speaking to Sky Sports News after the match, Pardew said: "I think I'm going to sit down now because that's two or three incidents I've been involved in. I think I'm going to sit now.

"I didn't meant to do anything aggressive but I moved my head forward and that's enough."
