The Premier League season started just a few weeks ago, but controversies and drama have already emerged.
A bizarre clip circulating on social media shows the moment when Newcastle United’s captain was involved in a violent street fight. Since then, the club has neither released any statements nor provided further clarification on the accusations made.

Soccer star caught in street violence
The video, uploaded on platform X by sports reporter Joseph Brown, depicts multiple men engaged in a chaotic street fight. The clip begins with a group of men kicking and pummeling a man onto the ground. However, while depicting the incident, the reporter seemed to have gotten the soccer player’s name’s spelling wrong.

The violent altercation saw multiple punches thrown and it is alleged that soccer player Jamaal Lascelles, Newcastle’s captain, was part of the group too. Wearing a black t-shirt and green gilet, Jamaal kicked and punched a man with his full power and showed no signs of restraint.
The entire altercation looked extremely violent and disturbing. Multiple people were injured in the brutal brawl and the clip showed Jamaal taking several shots at the men on the street. He punched and even kicked a man lying down on the floor.

Not defending this in anyway, anyone involved should be dealt with appropriately (arrested, fined etc) but that could literally be anyone, looks like it was filmed on a potato.

This user agreed that the people in the video must be punished, but it is too difficult to say that it was Jamaal in the video.

Sorry mate, but you can’t claim that is Jamal Lascelles off the evidence you’ve just provided us.
That’s totally unfair on Jamal…
