The Ghanaian has found himself the target of criticism for his behaviour as his team celebrated Saturday’s win
Leicester City defender Daniel Amartey has come under heavy criticism after being caught on camera throwing a Chelsea pennant onto the floor as his team celebrated their FA Cup final triumph over Chelsea in the dressing room on Saturday.
In the game, Belgium star Youri Tielemans scored the only goal of the game to hand the Foxes their first FA Cup title.
Leicester’s celebrations, as expected, continued into the dressing room, with some players deciding to share the special moment live on social media.
It was in one of such broadcasts that Amartey, an unused substitute in the fixture, incurred the wrath of fans.
In a dancing mood, the Ghana international went for the Chelsea pennant, displayed it to the camera before throwing it over his shoulder.
The action has generated a lot of talk on social media, with many calling it “disrespectful” while others have called for a prompt apology.

It won’t make up for this loss but Chelsea need to batter Leicester on Tuesday.
A. They need to show us some pride
B. What Daniel Amartey did with our flag in the Leicester dressing room was beyond disrespectful & needless— Alex Goldberg (@AlexGoldberg_) May 15, 2021
Either Amartey or Leicester should be releasing a statement on his behalf to apologize. Reactions so far not favourable.

Daniel Amartey might never play for Chelsea in his life for what he did. It’s gross disrespect to Chelsea and he should apologize for that tbh
What he did is very very wrong

Chelsea fans bitching about Amartey throwing the little Chelsea flag thing in the dressing room. Your team disrespected the whole of football a few weeks back by entering the Super League. Have some perspective.
