Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Mario Lemina has fired back at West Ham United winger Jarrod Bowen on Instagram, revealing his side of the story following their clash on the pitch.
The two players were involved in a heated exchange during West Ham’s 2-1 win over Wolves at the London Stadium. Bowen scored the winning goal in the 81st minute, but Lemina was not impressed with the winger’s celebrations.
Taking to Instagram, Lemina posted a message that appeared to be aimed at Bowen. “Some people can’t handle the truth,” Lemina wrote. “You can’t disrespect me on the pitch and then pretend like nothing happened. I’m not one to shy away from a challenge. You want to play tough, let’s play tough.”
Lemina’s post was quickly flooded with comments from fans, with some supporting the Wolves midfielder and others defending Bowen.
The exchange between Lemina and Bowen is unlikely to die down anytime soon, with the two players likely to face each other again when Wolves host West Ham at Molineux Stadium later this season.
For now, it seems that Lemina has gotten the last word in, but the rivalry between these two players is far from over.
