Sunderland duo face wrath of fans after ‘supporting’ Newcastle United Carabao Cup celebrations
Two Sunderland players face the wrath of supporters after appearing to ‘like’ Newcastle United’s Carabao Cup celebration on social media.
Newcastle United held a Carabao Cup trophy parade and presentation in Newcastle on Saturday afternoon which was attended by around 300,000 people in total.
A open-top bus parade from St James’ Park to Newcastle’s Town Moor saw supporters line the streets in Newcastle city centre while many gathered on the Town Moor for the trophy presentation and Q&A session with Eddie Howe and his players.
Earlier this month Newcastle ended a 70-year wait for a domestic trophy by beating Liverpool 2-1 in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium.
‘This is what it means’ to Newcastle United
Newcastle’s trophy celebrations went viral on socil media and was also broadcast on Sky News and BBC.
The post was liked by around 400,000 Instagram users at the time of writing. But two people who liked the post may now regret doing so.
Sunderland duo Jenson Seelt and Salis Abdul Samed both appeared to like the post showing Newcastle’s cup celebrations that took place during The Black Cats’ 1-0 win over Millwall in the Championship. Neither player was involved in the game, having endured injury-hit campaigns.
