Crystal Palace fan rejects Pape Souare shirt offering
The left-back was making just his second appearance since suffering serious injuries from a car accident in September last year.
Pape Souare was left red-faced following Crystal Palace’s Carabao Cup defeat at Bristol City after a travelling away fan rejected the offer of his match shirt.
Roy Hodgson’s men became the third Premier League scalp of this season’s competition for the Robins following the 4-1 loss at Ashton Gate, which condemned the Eagles to their ninth defeat from 12 matches this campaign.
And a certain Palace fan showed their dismay at another abject performance by throwing the left-back’s shirt back onto the pitch after the Senegal international had offered it to the travelling supporter.
The 27-year-old, who was making just his second appearance since suffering serious injuries from a car accident in September last year, was filmed picking up the garment before gesturing towards the fan and walking back to the dressing room with team-mate Jason Puncheon.
The former Lille full-back later posted on Twitter about the incident, where he gained plenty of support from Palace supporters who disagreed with the person’s behaviour.
