NEWCASTLE contacted police at the weekend after midfielder Joe Willock found himself the target of an “appalling” racist online attack on Saturday evening.
The 25-year-old revealed he was abused on Instagram in the wake of a disappointing 2-1 Premier League defeat by Fulham at St James’ Park, the Magpies’ second in succession following Bournemouth’s 4-1 victory on Tyneside two weeks earlier.
