Newcastle Knights playmaker Jackson Hastings has slammed Premier League table-toppers Arsenal after a controversial video of players appearing to ignore a young mascot was shared on social media.
The Gunners posted the now-viral video on Twitter of their squad signing a shirt for one of their mascots outside the changing room before their 2-2 draw with West Ham on Sunday.
However, none of the players appeared to acknowledge the eight-year-old girl, Olivia Murray, as they passed on the pen despite her gazing at them in admiration.
Celebrities including Nick Knowles, Laura Woods and Piers Morgan took to social media to brand the players 'entitled, overpaid and rude'.
