Bruno Guimaraes sent a cheeky tweet after Newcastle were denied a penalty during their Premier League trip to Manchester United on Wednesday night.
Anthony Gordon’s sock was left torn after Sofyan Amrabat’s first-half challenge in the penalty area, but there was no VAR check at Old Trafford.
One Newcastle fan tweeted pictures of the incident, with the caption: ‘”Aye, didn’t touch him ref”‘.
Bruno Guimaraes shared that post with emojis of a face peeking out from behind hands, and a zipper-face.
Gordon was furious with those in Stockley Park following his side’s 3-2 defeat, telling Sky Sports: ‘It’s a clear, clear and obvious mistake, I don’t know how you can get it wrong.
