Social media was quickly flooded with footage of the incident, with supporters questioning the midfielder’s attitude during such a difficult period for the club.
X user @Ayodelebiodun wrote: “Imagine how audacious you must be to play so badly, lose 4-0 and somehow make it about fans who probably spent all their wages, travelled halfway across the country to support you losers. What brats these players are.”
Another Reds fan, @ianyoungkop, said: “Getting a bit above his station this pr*ck”.
“I’m Szoboszlai biggest fan but he needs to apologise for this,” @Corballyred wrote. “How can he be questioning the fans commitment when the players look like they are not arsed and run around like it’s a testimonial.”
The criticism did not stop there, as another disgruntled supporter labelled him “such an arrogant player”, while another added: “Travelling fans pay your wages, clap and get down the tunnel, theatrics don’t work with the supporters.”
