CALLUM WILSON branded Tottenham keeper Guglielmo Vicario disrespectful after Newcastle were spanked in North London.
Gloating Vicario mocked Magpies sub Wilson by pulling a face at the England striker when he missed a second-half header.
The pair then clashed at the end, just three days after Toon stars had a bust-up with Everton’s Sunderland-born keeper Jordan Pickford following his taunts in a Goodison Park defeat.
Fuming Wilson said: “There’s a way to win, isn’t there?
"We saw it in the week when Everton were winning and Jordan Pickford was messing around. The goalkeeper after my header starts pulling faces and messing around.
“It’s just a lack of respect I thought. I said my piece, we’re grown men and we move on.”

But Tottenham’s No 1 hit back by posting on Instagram: “Respect is given . . . to everyone that respects me!”
Spurs struck through Destiny Udogie, a Richarlison double and Son Heung-min’s penalty to end a run of four defeats in five games, with Joelinton replying late on for Toon. Defender Cristian Romero was lucky to escape with a yellow card for a nasty-looking tackle on Wilson.
Injuries are mounting for Toon and boss Eddie Howe said: “I was pleased to see Callum get up from that because it looked dangerous. But we can’t use that as an excuse.
“Physically we looked fatigued and there was not much we could do about it. We have to park this game quickly but take lessons from it.”

Amazingly, Richarlison’s goals were the first with his feet since joining from Everton for £50million in 2022.
He had returned from groin surgery. Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou said: “Since he’s come back, he feels a lot better physically and I think that’s helped him mentally as well.
“It wasn’t just his goals, it was his general work-rate, energy and physicality.”
Postecoglou switched Son back out wide, despite him netting nine Prem goals as a central striker this term.
The Spurs boss added: “With Sonny, he’s still our best finisher and I thought getting him back on the left would give us some more avenues to score goals.”
