Among the Nigerians who showed support for the Nigeria-born Saka were Super Eagles midfielder, Joe Aribo, and John Fashanu. Aribo posted Saka’s image on his Instagram stories on Monday in support of the teenager. Speaking with The PUNCH, Nigerian-born former England international Fashanu said Saka should not be subjected to abuse just for missing a penalty. He also charged the Professional Football Association to take drastic measures against racist fans. But I took a lot of nasty insults, human urines being poured over me; I’ve had a lot of things.
