“You should always show respect to the supporters by going over, win or lose, but incidents like these are happening more now and all that will happen in a couple of hours is that the players will apologise on social media. Jarrod Bowen did it for West Ham in the Carabao Cup defeat to Wolves. Yes, players should go over but don’t stay there too long. Passions are running high for everybody, especially people in the stands and that leads to incidents like this one.”
