'It does not set a good example' - Neuer slams Jarstein after brawl

The Bayern shot-stopper was not impressed with his opponent's behaviour following Die Roten's last-gasp equaliser against Hertha Berlin

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has hit out at Hertha Berlin counterpart Rune Jarstein after the Norwegian sparked a brawl in Saturday's 1-1 Bundesliga draw in the German capital.

Jarstein was unable to contain his frustration after conceding a 96th-minute equaliser and angrily kicked the ball away after Rober Lewandowski's goal, hitting Xabi Alonso in the process.

Bayern players reacted furiously to the incident and Neuer feels the 32-year-old set a bad example with his unsporting behaviour.

"It is just not right to shoot the ball at a player on purpose, no matter how frustrated you are," Neuer told the German Football Association website.
