Embarrassing, Unscrupulous Manchester City Supporters Hit Aston Villa Goalkeeper In The Middle Of The Champion Celebration Party

JAKARTA - Manchester City's 2021/2022 English Premier League title party was marred by an unpleasant incident. Aston Villa goalkeeper, Robin Olsen, was attacked by unscrupulous home fans.

Villa came close to thrashing City in the last week after they took a 2-0 lead at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, 22 May evening WIB. However, two goals from Ilkay Gundogan and another goal from Rodri turned things around for Pep Guardiola's side.

City finally came out as champions as well as won the competition with Liverpool who finished in second place with a gap of only one point. This is City's fourth league title in the last five years.

The dramatic win made City fans emotional and rushed onto the pitch to celebrate. However, their celebration was marred by the attack on Olsen by unscrupulous persons.

In the video circulating, Olsen is seen holding his face while still in the penalty box and about to rush off the field.

Security officers immediately swiftly protected the 32-year-old goalkeeper. However, he got a few more attacks as he and the officers walked towards the locker room door.

"Manchester City sincerely apologizes to Aston Villa goalkeeper Robin Olsen, who was attacked after the final whistle today as fans entered the pitch," said a Man City statement.

Olsen is certainly a surprise in the visiting squad at the Etihad. The Swedish goalkeeper joined on loan from Roma in January and has not featured for the team before.
