Daniel Amartey accused of ‘disrespect’ for chucking Chelsea pennant to the floor during Leicester’s FA Cup celebrations in dressing room

Daniel Amartey has angered some Chelsea fans after throwing the club’s pennant to the floor during Leicester’s dressing room celebrations on Saturday.

The Foxes won their first ever FA Cup by beating the Blues 1-0 at Wembley thanks to a second-half rocket from Youri Tielemans.

There were jubilant scenes from all involved with the club as fans returned to the stands, Gary Lineker jumped up and down in the punditry booth and Brendan Rodgers embraced club owner Aiyawatt ‘Top’ Srivaddhanaprabha.

The players lifted the trophy and then returned to the dressing room to continue the party.

With some squad members streaming on Instagram Live, the celebrations were available for all fans to see.

Amartey took this opportunity to jump in front of one camera, pick up the Chelsea pennant exchanged by the captains pre-kick off, and hurl it over his shoulder.

It landed on a heap on the floor.

While rival fans very much enjoyed the moment, Chelsea supporters on social media were not impressed with the video.

Some even suggested the Blues should use it as motivation for their game against Leicester on Tuesday.

The two clubs meet again on Tuesday night in a crunch clash which could seriously impact Champions League prospects for both sides.

As things stand, Leicester sit 3rd on 66 points while Chelsea are 4th on 65.

Liverpool lead the chase in 5th with 60 points (plus a game in hand).
