Jimenez then tried to pull out of the challenge by turning away from Longstaff, but he crashed into the Newcastle midfielder – hitting him in the face with his hip which left him in a heap on the floor.
Referee Sam Barrott initially awarded a free-kick and booked Jimenez.
But VAR Michael Salisbury told Barrott to review the incident on the monitor and he increased the punishment to a red card for serious foul play.
Fans were shocked by the challenge with one suggesting it was “straight out of WWE”.
Another added: “Raul Jimenez moving like Jackie Chan in his prime, what was he thinking?”
A third joked: “Raul Jimenez thought he was Rey Mysterio.”
And another commented: “What Raul Jimenez thinking? He came FLYING in.”
