Delph complained to Nigel Miller, but the referee missed the first-half incident as the red mist descended yet again for Barton, whose Toon teammates were forced to calm him down. It was a lucky escape for him and Newcastle, the subject of an FA inquiry over a 20-man brawl in last week's game at Huddersfield. Barton added to the bad blood between the sides in a feisty encounter as his crisis club looked to make amends for their 6-1 humbling at Leeds' League One rivals Leyton Orient.
