Adama Traore takes swipe at Lisandro Martinez after Fulham loss to Man United
01/27/2025 11:00 AM
Fulham winger Adama Traore appeared to take a shit at Lisandro Martinez on social media following his team's 1-0 defeat to Man United in the Premier League.
The Red Devils secured victory on 26 January thanks to a late deflected strike from Martinez, which ultimately sealed all three points for Ruben Amorim’s side.
Martinez, who has had previous history with Traore on social media earlier this season, appeared to be the target of a subtle dig from the Fulham winger.
The forward shared a photo on Instagram of himself with Martinez on the ground due to an injury and captioned it: "Tough loss. We deserved more, but we will keep working hard and improving."
Fulham have to move on from Man United defeat
Marco Silva's side have shown they can perform against top teams this season, with impressive wins over Arsenal and Chelsea. So there was a sense of confidence heading into the match against United.
Currently on 33 points, a win would have pushed Fulham closer to the European qualification race, competing with teams like Bournemouth and Aston Villa.
Traore has had a mixed season, making 11 starts and 11 substitute appearances for Fulham. However, his output has been underwhelming, managing just two goals and four assists across all competitions.
The match against Amorim’s team was a big opportunity for Traore to shine, especially considering his earlier social media spat with Martinez. However, he failed to make a significant impact.
Martinez, on the other hand, had the last laugh, scoring the decisive goal to secure all three points for United. The Argentine made his feelings clear on Instagram, celebrating his winner.
Football Insider Verdict
Despite Traore's sly dig at Martinez on social media, posting a photo of the defender on the floor, it would have stung after Martinez delivered the winning goal.
Fulham's recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins, two losses, and a draw in their last five matches. Still, Traore's message of resilience could give fans some optimism moving forward.
