As Newcastle complained bitterly about a penalty NOT given in their favour, the home side broke and Jermain Defoe, a 36th minute replacement for the injured Ola Toivonen, slipped a pass into the feet of Fletcher, who was shoulder charged to the ground by Coloccini.
Was it a foul or fair play? The rules say "shoulder to shoulder" (which it was) is NOT a foul, but Fletcher made the most of it and swan-dived to the ground.
Mr Madley pointed to the spot and issued a red card, and Johnson stepped up to put the penalty into the bottom corner, before running 100 yards to the Newcastle fans at the other end of the pitch to make an aeroplane gesture, which some took to mean mocking the MH17 flight when two Newcastle fans died.
