Newcastle captain Lascelles: I'm glad we beat unacceptable Jorginho

Newcastle captain Jamaal Lascelles slammed Jorginho after Saturday's defeat of Arsenal.

Lascelles says Jorginho refused to shake his hand at the final whistle.

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."
