Former England international Gary Lineker has described Alan Pardew's headbutt on David Meyler as "inexcusable".
The Newcastle United manager was sent to the stands during the 4-1 win over Hull City after approaching the midfielder and appearing to make head-to-head contact with him.
The 'Match of the Day' presenter tweeted: "Alan Pardew has just headbutted David Meyler. Yes headbutted. Inexcusable from a manager."
Pardew apologised after the Premier League match, saying that he regretted his actions.
