Newcastle United fans have raged at Joelinton after what he did in the second half of their draw against Bournemouth on Sunday (25 August).

The Brazilian was spotted grabbing his compatriot Neto around the neck and hauling the goalkeeper to the floor in injury time at the Vitality Stadium.

Joelinton was only given a yellow card for the incident despite the Bournemouth players and staff calling for him to receive his marching orders.

That came just moments after Dango Ouattara saw a goal ruled out for handball, with the officials deeming the ball had hit his arm before beating Nick Pope in the Newcastle goal.

The game ended 1-1 after Anthony Gordon's strike on 76 minutes ruled out Marcus Tavernier's opener for the hosts.

Newcastle fans stunned by Joelinton decision against Bournemouth

But the Newcastle fans were surprised to see Joelinton not receive a red card, with several of them suggesting it was a "shocking" foul on Neto.

That was absolutely disgusting by Joelinton, shocking behaviour. #NUFC

We were completely shocking today like. Joelinton should’ve had a red without a doubt at the end there! Very lucky to get a draw but something has to change😡 The players we have should be doing better - so so poor, it’s gonna be a longggggg season #NUFC

Joelinton literally assaulted Neto and wasn’t sent off. Sorry, but that’s just what I saw. Impeding is unsporting but fine, but that was violent conduct. #NUFC #BOUNEW

Took Hall and Willock coming on for us to actually try to win the game. Any half decent team buries us with that performance. Joelinton very very lucky not to get sent off at the end there after one of his worst performances in years #NUFC

We definitely got away with 2 decisions there. Poor performance and should have lost. Goal should have stood and joelinton should have been sent off for a ridiculous clothesline. Desperately need at least 2 new signings this week or it’s a long season ahead. #NUFC

Goal correctly disallowed as it hit his arm but my word Joelinton was lucky not to be sent off for a clothesline that wouldn’t look out of place in the WWE. Having said that I didn’t think Schär should have been sent off last week. All balances I suppose 😂 #NUFC
