Overview

• Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno was involved in an incident with a ballboy during a Premier League match against Bournemouth, which Fulham lost 3-0.
• Leno, who had already been booked, appeared to push the ballboy while retrieving the ball for a goal kick, sparking controversy and criticism from the crowd.
• Despite the incident, referee Tim Robinson did not further penalize Leno during the match.
• Leno later apologized to the ballboy and the crowd. Fulham manager Marco Silva defended Leno, suggesting the ballboy was delaying the game.
• The Football Association (FA) has indicated that it is unlikely to take retrospective action against Leno, as such incidents are typically handled by match officials.
