A Chelsea fan from Ghana was stabbed and consequently died of his injuries in the suburb of Accra after criticising David Luiz’s performance. ‘Deco’ was attacked by three men after passing the comments whilst Chelsea’s Champions League tie with Atletico Madrid was still being played.
Ghana Sports Online report that the trio heard the man slate Luiz’s game and so returned home to get a jack-knife and clubs before returning to stab the deceased.
