"There's a leg swing towards Emirhan, why can't I see a replay? That could have been a red card. If he swung his right foot and deliberately hit it, a VAR call would have given a red card. Then there was a strangling attack. Look, it's a yellow card for sure, but let's watch the replay!"
What happened
As Pulse Sports reported, Osimhen was involved in an on-pitch bust-up during the Istanbul Derby. The Nigerian grabbed Besiktas defender Emirhan by the neck amidst an argument and had to be pulled out of the scene by his compatriot Wilfred Ndidi, who plays for the Black Eagles.
