Newcastle condemned the discriminatory abuse sent to Bruno Guimarães and Joe Willock in the wake of a controversy-laden Premier League match against Arsenal that has sparked heavy criticism by the London club about the standard of officiating in England바카라s top division. ()
Willock, who is Black, used his Instagram account to highlight racist messages he received after Newcastle바카라s 1-0 win on Saturday. He is a former Arsenal player and was involved in the build-up to the only goal scored by Anthony Gordon that survived a lengthy video review for three possible infringements.
Guimarães, a Brazil international, was also involved in some of the most heated incidents of the match at St. James바카라 Park. Newcastle said it 바카라strongly condemns바카라 the abuse toward its midfielders, adding: 바카라We are providing support to Bruno and Joe and will work with relevant authorities and social media platforms to identify those responsible so that they can be held to account.바카라
Kick It Out, a leading anti-discrimination group in soccer, called on social media companies to offer better safeguards against the abuse.
바카라Sadly, this has been an almost weekly occurrence this season, and the costs on players바카라 mental health are huge,바카라 the group said.
Arsenal hasn바카라t commented on the discriminatory messages, choosing instead to direct its ire toward the match officials.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said he felt 바카라ashamed,바카라 바카라embarrassed바카라 and that it was a 바카라disgrace바카라 and the club said it 바카라wholeheartedly supports바카라 his comments about what it perceived to be 바카라unacceptable refereeing and VAR errors.바카라
바카라The Premier League is the best league in the world with the best players, coaches and supporters, all of whom deserve better,바카라 Arsenal said. 바카라(The referees바카라 body) urgently needs to address the standard of officiating and focus on action which moves us all on from retrospective analysis, attempted explanations and apologies.바카라
