Toon captain Lascelles hammered Italian midfielder Jorginho for his “unacceptable” conduct at the end of the spiky clash.

He said: “Jorginho didn’t want to shake hands after the game. Whatever happens on the pitch — handbags or whatever — you show sportsmanship and shake hands.

“He didn’t do that, so I’m so glad we beat them. Players like that, I don’t think it’s acceptable.

“A lot of them walked in at the end.

“I went up to shake Jorginho’s hand but he didn’t want to! I was  fuming, it’s not on.

“I would never refuse to shake an opposition captain’s hand, no way.”

Furious Arsenal suffered their first loss of the season following  Anthony Gordon’s controversial second-half winner.

Asked if he thought Newcastle had recorded a statement win, defender Lascelles added: “Yeah and especially with how they go on as well.”

On his Instagram stories, Willock posted screenshots of the racial slurs he was sent, along with a photo of a ‘Show racism the red card’ banner at St James’ Park.

After being told, “F*** u n*****”, the former Arsenal midfielder replied: “It’s a game of football mate no need for this.”

A club statement read: “Newcastle  strongly condemns racist abuse sent to Bruno Guimaraes and Joe Willock.

“There is no room for racism in football or society.

“We will work with relevant authorities and social media platforms to identify those responsible so that they can be held to account.”
