He said: "Who the f*** is Harvey Barnes, bro?"

"We just got stream-sniped by somebody named f***king Harvey Barnes. Harvey Barnes, f*** you, bro.

The success of the Newcastle players meant that the YouTube squad finished the game in 21st place, leading to the squad to accuse Barnes of "hacking" on Fortnite.

Newcastle fans were quick to react to the clip on social media, with one sharing a GIF of Anthony Gordon and commenting: "Owned by the best English winger in the league."

Another said: "The GOAT Paul Dummett strikes again".
