British media Daily Star reported on the 26th (Korea time), “The two Sefield United players even hit each other during an argument during the game, but they managed to avoid a red card.”
Wolverhampton won 1-0 at home to Sheffield United in the 26th round of the English Premier League in the 2023-24 season at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England, thanks to Pablo Sarabia’s winning goal in the 30th minute of the first half.
In the 30th minute of the first half, Rayan Aitnuri sent a high-quality cross to Sarabia penetrating through the opponent’s defense, and Sarabia connected it with a header to shake Sheffield’s net. Sarabia’s clever penetration and Aitnuri’s cross aimed at the space created by Hwang Hee-chan and Mario Lemina as bait stood out.
After being included in the starting list, Hwang Hee-chan complained of pain in his left knee during the warm-up stage before the game and was urgently treated. Fortunately, Hwang Hee-chan, who played in the game and stayed on the ground before being replaced by Jean-Likner Velegaard in the 41st minute of the second half, failed to score an attack point and passed the league’s 11th goal opportunity to the next.
Although Hwang Hee-chan was silent, Wolverhampton, who won 1-0 and secured 38 points (11 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses), jumped to eighth place in the league. On the other hand, Sheffield, the lowest-ranked team in the league, failed to escape from the 20th place, maintaining 13 points (3 wins, 4 draws and 19 losses).
Meanwhile, there was a war of nerves between the players during the match, and the same Sheffield teammates fought and attracted attention.
After Sarabia’s first goal, midfielder Vinicius Soza and defender Jack Robinson began to argue in the 36th minute of the first half, and eventually touched each other’s bodies, creating a flashpoint situation. Anel Ahmedhodzic, wearing the captain’s armband, hurriedly separated the two players before the two collided.
In response, the media claimed, “The disturbance seems to have been caused by anger at Robinson, who did not catch up enough in the process of preventing Wolverhampton’s attack.”
Fortunately, the two players did not receive a card from the referee. Fans speculated that the incident showed a sensitive team atmosphere in Sheffield, which is currently at the bottom of the league and has a high chance of being demoted.
Meanwhile, some fans have recalled the Premier League scuffle that caused a great deal of controversy in the past. In April 2005, Newcastle United players Kieran Dyer and Lee Boyer caused a stir when they suddenly got into a fight against Aston Villa with their fists thrown at each other. Villa players, as well as Newcastle teammates, joined in to calm the two players down.
Eventually, the two players were sent off on good terms. Due to the post-mortem punishment, Dyer was suspended for three games and Boyer had to pay 200,000 pounds in fine for four games.
