Granit Xhaka (Sunderland), who clashed with fans by throwing the captain's armband at Arsenal in the past, once again engaged in a war of words with the crowd. This time, he asked the crowd to fight, saying, "I'll see you outside."
Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 24th (local time) that "Jaka had a shocking altercation with fans during the match against West Ham, which temporarily halted the match."
The incident occurred in the 23rd round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2025-206 season between Sunderland and West Ham on the 24th. It began with the replacement of Sunderzaka's teammate Nordi Mukiele. West Ham home fans booed and mocked as replacement Mookiele resorted to discontent with coach Regis Le Vries. Fans sitting in VIP seats close to the squad, right behind the bench, stimulated Mukiele by mocking him, "Wipe your tears" and "Calm down."
At this time, Xhaka, sitting behind the bench, couldn't hold back and intervened. According to witnesses, Xhaka turned around and shot back at the crowd, saying, "Show some respect."
A fan at the scene said through the media, "Jaka's behavior was ironic. His teammate (Mukiele) just confronted the coach, and it didn't make sense to tell us to respect him, he said. "So people responded to Xhaka in a way that said, 'Do it well.'"

The situation worsened when Xhaka pointed out a specific crowd. Xhaka started to argue with a male fan who was approaching to calm the situation down. The witness revealed, "The man just said, 'Stop,' but Xhaka threatened him, 'See you outside after it'."
Xhaka's anger didn't cool down after the game. The witness said, "Jaka shouted at the man 'I'll see you outside' even the moment he entered the tunnel," adding, "It was funny that a player who received 100,000 pounds (about 170 million won) a week lost his temper and pretended to be strong against the general public." This is entirely Xhaka's fault."
The commotion forced referee Thomas Bramall to stop the game and figure out the situation, and security personnel were sent in to settle the situation.
Meanwhile, Sunderland lost 1-3 to West Ham in the 23rd round of the English Premier League (EPL) in a chaotic atmosphere. West Ham scored back-to-back goals for Chrissencio Somerville, Jarrod Bowen and Matheus Fernandes, while Sunderland had one back from Brian Broby.
