Wolves Defender Avoids Red Card in Bizarre Prem Debut
Wolves defender Yerson Mosquera made a memorable Premier League debut at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, but for all the wrong reasons. The Colombian international was involved in two bizarre incidents against Arsenal, yet somehow managed to escape a red card.
The Infamous Grapple
Mosquera’s first mistake came in the second half when he got caught up in a grapple with Arsenal’s Kai Havertz. The Wolves defender pulled Havertz down to the ground, then grabbed him by the neck. The incident was reviewed by VAR, but no red card was given.
The Second Incident
Later on, Mosquera was involved in another controversy. This time, he grabbed Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus by the backside, prompting the Brazilian to react furiously and shove him over. Fans were left stunned, wondering how Mosquera managed to avoid a second yellow card.
Fan Reactions
Reaction on social media was divided, with many fans calling for Mosquera to be given his marching orders. "What is bro doing?" asked one Twitter user. "How’s he not off for the hand around the neck????" added another.
Stat Attack
This wasn’t Mosquera’s first rodeo in the Premier League. The 28-year-old made his debut for Wolves three years ago, signing from Atletico Nacional. He’s spent time on loan at Cincinnati in MLS and Villarreal in La Liga, but Saturday’s performance may have raised a few eyebrows.
What’s Next?
Wolves will be hoping Mosquera can put these incidents behind him and focus on the task at hand. With the season just underway, Gary O’Neil’s side will be looking to bounce back from their 2-0 defeat against Arsenal.
