Gabriel Jesus refused to turn the other cheek after having his buttocks grabbed during Arsenal’s clash with Wolves.
The Brazilian striker was bent over to put his right boot back on after a challenge.
Wolves star Yerson Mosquera, then spotted his chance and seized it, visibly grabbing Jesus’ back.
Jesus pushed the defender to the ground out of annoyance. He received a yellow card, which was a bit harsh.
And Gunners supporters were not happy with both Mosquera’s action and referee Jarred Gillet’s decision.
Fans reactions to Mosquera’s act
One wrote, “The guy is something else…”
A second commented, “Something has to be done with the officiating in this league. It’s outrageous.”
A third wrote, “We all know about refs and VAR…joke.”
A fourth fumed, “Welcome back to some of the worst referrees in Europe.”
Mosquera was fortunate to be on the field following a previous altercation with Kai Havertz, which only served to fan the flames.
At first, the German was in error when he pulled his opponent to the ground.
Havertz, who was already on the ground, had Mosquera’s hands around his neck, but the Wolves defender managed to remove them quickly enough to evade the officials’ notice.
Arsenal, eventually won the game by 2-0, courtesy of goals from Bukayo Saka,and Kai Havertz.
Following the victory, boss Mikel Arteta had lots of praise for Saka, likening the 22-year-old winger to Lionel Messi.
