Sunderland suffered a 3-1 defeat in the Premier League, in the match played against West Ham. In addition to what was seen on the pitch, a moment stood out in the stands, where the protagonist was Granit Xhaka.
The midfielder from Kosovo had an argument with a West Ham fan, with the situation about to escalate.
The referee was forced to stop the match until the situation calmed down somewhat, and then the game continued normally. We recall that Xhaka was unable to contribute in this match on the field due to injury.
