'Embarrassing' - Wolves Fans All Say the Same About What Yerson Mosquera Did vs Grimsby

In a shocking turn during Wolves' FA Cup clash against Grimsby Town at Blundell Park, defender Yerson Mosquera sparked outrage among fans with an inexplicable on-pitch blunder that has been branded "embarrassing" across social media.



The incident unfolded in the first half as Wolves, favorites in the tie, sought to assert dominance over the League Two side. Mosquera, known for his physical defending, inexplicably lost his footing after a routine challenge on a Grimsby forward. In a moment of chaos, he appeared to grab the player inappropriately around the neck while scrambling to recover, echoing his controversial history of on-field antics. Remarkably, referee Keith Stroud waved play on, with no VAR intervention, leaving supporters stunned.

Wolves fans flooded X (formerly Twitter) with unanimous criticism. "Absolutely embarrassing from Mosquera. What is he doing?" tweeted one supporter, summing up the sentiment. Another fumed: "Mosquera's neck grab vs Grimsby is a joke. Red card all day, embarrassing for Wolves." Dozens echoed the same phrase, highlighting frustration over the Colombian's repeated lapses in discipline. This comes amid Mosquera's turbulent season, including prior escapes from red cards against Arsenal (grabbing Kai Havertz's throat) and questionable grabs on Gabriel Jesus, plus pundit fury over tackles on Chelsea and Man City players.[1][2][4]

Despite the controversy, Wolves progressed comfortably, with goals from key attackers sealing a 3-1 win. Manager Gary O'Neil downplayed the moment post-match, praising Mosquera's "passion," but fans demanded better. "He's talented but this embarrassing stuff has to stop," one commented. The blunder overshadowed an otherwise solid performance, intensifying calls for composure from the young defender as Wolves eye Premier League survival.[5]
