Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has condemned the 'horrible' racist abuse aimed at midfielder Joe Willock in the wake of Sunday's Premier League win over Crystal Palace.

The Magpies called in police after the 26-year-old was targeted online in an attack described by the club as 'deeply disturbing'.

Head coach Howe said: "It's absolutely horrible. I really felt for Joe, to have to read that and absorb the words that were sent to him. Just his reaction, again, I thought was first-class.
