Nick Woltemade has opened up on an altercation with Arsenal defender Gabriel, in which he was seemingly elbowed in the face, during Newcastle's crushing late defeat to the Gunners at St. James' Park.
Gabriel netted a dramatic 96th-minute winner to complete an incredible comeback for the Gunners, after Woltemade had opened the scoring in the first half against the run of play.
The 23-year-old towered over the centre-back, whom he had an intense battle with throughout the game, to head home emphatically in the 34th minute after what had been a dominant Gunners start.
Gabriel and several Arsenal players were incensed that the goal had not been disallowed, with the defender going to ground softly after feeling Woltemade's hands on his back as he went to head the ball.
