Super Eagles defender, Bright Osayi-Samuel has defended his action following the fight that broke out after the match between Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor.
Some Trabzonspor fans stormed the pitch after the game which Fenerbahce won 3-2.
The defender’s action has generated mixed feelings and it remains to be whether he will be sanctioned by the Turkish Football Federation.
“Some people say what I did was not self-defense. If someone comes at you with a knife in his hand, how can this not be self-defense? They came to the field from the stands,” he was quoted by Bein Sports.
“I only had to defend my team and my friends there. Many of my teammates were coming into the locker room with cuts and bruises.
“I cannot understand how such events are possible on a football field.”
