Norwich City’s Ryan Bennett apologised to Piers Morgan on Twitter for pushing Arsenal’s Alexis Sánchez into a cameraman’s pit during their 1-1 draw at Carrow Road on Sunday.
Television replays of the incident appeared to show Bennett nudging Sánchez into the drop as the pair were chasing a ball quickly running out of play.
No one was more incensed than famously vocal Arsenal fan Piers Morgan, who claimed:
That Norwich halfwit should be sent off. Bloody stupid, dangerous shove on Alexis.
To which the offender later replied that he was sorry.
