Sheffield United inevitably went back down the way they came after battling relegation all season in the Premier League, and someone thinks the striker’s to be blamed.

Around 8.30pm on Saturday, the 24-year-old was said to have attacked a man who made jest of him on the street in Knaresborough North Yorkshire, knocking off the phone the intruder was said to be videoing him with and then appearing to stamp on it.

Reportedly, he will be facing a police probe for his actions, after the video of the brawl went viral on social media.

Sheffield had quite a dismal season in the top-flight, managing only five wins and scoring a paltry 18 goals of which the £20 million man has got only one.

Thus, you understand while the intruder’s pained but yet, is it enough excuse for such vituperation against someone? I don’t think so. Just before the police step in and do their job, maybe the cuts to his face and a swollen, black eye he’s left with is surely what he deserved.
