Former Super Eagles skipper, Vincent Enyeama, has reacted emotionally to Lille fans who attacked its player on Saturday.
Lille supporters stormed the field at Stade Pierre-Mauroy as frightening scenes marred full-time in the 1-1 Ligue 1 draw against Montpellier.
A large number of fans from behind one of the goals burst over the advertising hoardings and ran towards the centre of the pitch, with security personnel outnumbered.
Nicolas Pepe, who earlier gave Lille a 41st-minute lead, found himself accosted by some of the invaders and was shepherded towards the dressing rooms.
Pepe’s team-mates similarly sought refuge and the marauding fans, who appeared to number around 200, turned their frustrations towards the directors’ box, with owner Gerard Lopez and sporting director Marc Ingla looking down upon the ugly spectacle.
Enyeama, who didn’t make the matchday squad, was saddened by the act.
How did we get here.the last time losc had fans on the pitch was for celebration.the real fan/supporter will always stay behind the team no matter what.good or bad times.tousensemble#onestlelosc#ilfautpasoublie.
