Neymar accuses Alvaro Gonzalez of racism after red card row

Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar has levelled serious accusations of racism against Olympique Marseille defender Alvaro Gonzalez after being sent off in his side's 1-0 defeat on Sunday. 

Neymar was one of five players to be shown a red card as PSG suffered a 1-0 defeat to rivals Marseille during a heated Le Classique.

The Brazil forward was given his marching orders in the 97th minute following a clash with Gonzalez, and he has since accused the Spaniard of using racist language towards him.

"VAR catching my 'aggression' is easy. Now I want to see them get the footage of the racist calling me 'monkey son of a b****'... That's what I want to see!" Neymar wrote on Twitter after the match, as translated from Portuguese.

Gonzalez has since responded to the former FC Barcelona star's claims with a tweet of his own, in which he denied the accusations that had been made against him.

"There is no place for racism. [I have had a] clean career and with many colleagues and friends on a daily basis. Sometimes you have to learn to lose and take it on the field. Incredible three points today. Allez l'OM," the 30-year-old shared.

Just minutes before the altercation, PSG's Leonardo Paredes and Layvin Kurzawa, and Marseille's Diego Benedetto and Jordan Amavi were also dismissed following a brawl on the pitch.

Les Parisiens were ultimately consigned to a second consecutive defeat of the season following France international Florian Thauvin's first-half goal.
