Bruno Guimaraes felt Newcastle United 'deserved better' than to be knocked out of the Carabao Cup on penalties at Chelsea.

Callum Wilson opened the scoring for Newcastle before Chelsea substitute Mykhailo Mudryk pounced to equalise in the 92nd mintue of the match and force penalties. Guimaraes and Wilson converted their penalties in the shootout but Kieran Trippier and Matt Ritchie missed as Chelsea progressed to the semi-final.

Following the match, the Brazilian tweeted: "Thanks for your support. We deserved better. We stick together as always."

Guimaraes was subject to criticism from Chelsea fans on social media following a strong challenge on Ian Maatsen which earned him a yellow card. The Brazilian made no attempt to play the ball as he swung his leg wildly at the Chelsea left-back and took him out.

Arsenal fans also chimed in, with one account describing the Newcastle midfielder as a 'monster'. Guimaraes went unpunished when his forearm connected with Jorginho during Newcastle's 1-0 win over Arsenal at St James' Park last month.
