Newcastle condemn racist abuse sent to Bruno Guimaraes and Joe Willock via social media after the club's 1-0 win over Arsenal - and vow to work with authorities to ensure the perpetrators are 'held to account'

Newcastle United has condemned racist abuse sent to Joe Willock and Bruno Guimaraes on social media following their 1-0 win over Arsenal on Saturday evening.

Willock was responsible for keeping the ball in before crossing for the only goal of the game, while Guimaraes was arguably lucky to have avoided a sending off for an elbow on Jorginho in the first half.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was vocal in his criticism after the match, but it now appears that some people crossed the line with their anger directed at certain Newcastle players on social media platforms.
