Newcastle Fans Loved What Jonjo Shelvey Did To Yohan Cabaye

I've got a sneaking suspicion that Newcastle fans still feel strongly about Yohan Cabaye's decision to leave St James' Park in 2014.

Cabaye, who was a key player for the Magpies during his time at the club, joined Newcastle for £4.3million in 2011 and scored 17 goals in 79 appearances.

But after three years in England, he decided to join Paris Saint-Germain in a deal worth a reported £19 million.

Fast forward another three years and Cabaye is currently at Crystal Palace under the management of Roy Hodgson. Today, he played in front of the crowd that once chanted his name.

A late goal from Mikel Merino gave Newcastle all three points, as they move up to sixth in the Premier League ladder.

Palace, on the other hand, remain in a relegation dog fight.

To add to the misery, Cabaye was subject to plenty of boos during the game after a nasty tackle on Newcastle defender DeAndre Yedlin.

And when Merino scored the winner, Jonjo Shelvey approached Cabaye and celebrated right in his face - a gesture that plenty of Newcastle fans loved:

Jonjo Shelvey has no chill. Should Cabaye have moved to Paris Saint-Germain back in 2014?
