Renato Sanches kicks Newcastle’s Joselu in the privates on Premier League debut for Swansea

Magpies took all three points against Paul Clement's side but it was new boy Sanches who stole the show... for the wrong reasons

RENATO SANCHES made quite the impression on his debut for Swansea... by kicking Newcastle's Joselu in the privates during a throw-in.

Jamaal Lascelles scored the only goal of the game for Newcastle but Renato Sanches wasn't about to let anyone steal his limelight today... even if he failed to impress.

The 20-year-old, who is on-loan at Swansea from Bayern Munich, wasn't having the best debut.

Whilst waiting for a throw-in from Jesus Gamez, Sanches was seen coming up behind Joselu and accidentally kicking him straight between the legs.

No one seemed to have noticed what had really happened until Joselu was laying in agony on the floor.

It was certainly an afternoon to forget for Sanches on his Premier League debut. 

Fans on Twitter had already started to comment on Sanches' poor debut with some classing him as 'overrated' and others asking one another whether he had completed a pass yet.

Well we can tell you this - he definitely completed a pass to Joselu's private parts and it really didn't look pleasant.

Rafa Benitez would have been happy with the win but we wonder if he had spotted the shocking act as he watched on TV whilst recovering at home from an infection following a hernia operation.

It wasn't seen by the referee but the fans watching the game hit Twitter in rage as they were not happy with what they had seen.
