It is the latest depressing instance of footballers receiving vile and disgusting hate online.
Newcastle released a statement about the incident this morning.
The Magpies said: “Newcastle United strongly condemns racist abuse sent to Bruno Guimaraes and Joe Willock via social media following yesterday’s victory over Arsenal.
“Our message is clear. There is no room for racism in football or society.
“We 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.”
Guimaraes played the full 90 minutes in the hot-tempered clash at St James’ Park and was involved in various flashpoints.
He escaped any punishment for catching Jorginho on the back of the head with his forearm and again suffered no consequence for shoving Declan Rice.
However, the Brazilian did pick up a yellow card in the 88th minute for a stray hand to push Fabio Vieira to the ground.
