“Their captain, Jorginho, didn’t want to shake my hand after the game.” Lascelles said.

“I was fuming, it’s not on. I would never refuse to shake an opposition captain’s hand, no way.”

“You can have as many arguments as you want on the pitch but shake hands at the end. It’s part of the sport.”

In the end it was an important victory for the Magpies as it edges them closer to the designated top 4 finish. For Arsenal, however, it was their first loss of the season and it dropped them down to 4th in the table.
