Amazon presenter Simon Thomas came up with an incredible gaffe during Manchester United vs Arsenal as he called Edouard Mendy as Benjamin Mendy
Edouard Mendy has been receiving some incredible hate off late.
For a goalkeeper who is currently touted as the safest pair of hands in the world, Mendy has failed to get the basic recognition any footballer deserves. People in sports media have failed to differentiate between him and Manchester City’s disgraced ex-player Benjamin Mendy.
Amazon Presenter Simon Thomas Refers To Edouard Mendy As Benjamin Mendy
Things had first gone on a downtick after a piece on Benjamin Mendy’s bail hearing had a picture of Edouard Mendy in the article. The Chelsea goalkeeper had gone onto publicly slam the outlet and rightfully so as well with the entire set of events reeking of racism.
Did this fool just say “Benjamin Mendy” 🙃 …. Evra’s reaction is willing me 🤣🤣🤣 #MUNARS pic.twitter.com/DH3LdQgAiH

A few less than kind messages about a mistake over the Chelsea keepers first name. Genuine mistake – sorry. It happens and if people knew the battle with anxiety I am going through at the moment just to do the job I love maybe they wouldn’t be so unpleasant. Just trying my best.

However, the shotstopper has once again been belittled, this time around by Amazon present Simon Thomas. Thomas who was doing the live broadcast of Manchester United vs Arsenal on Amazon Prime went onto refer to the Chelsea man as jailed Benjamin Mendy.
Simon’s gaffe left Patrice Evra flummoxed with the ex-Manchester United player who was also in the frame seen livid with the error. Evra had earlier this week gone onto claim that Mendy was only denied of the Yashin Trophy at the Ballon d’Or 2021 awards as he was black.
Thomas has meanwhile since gone onto apologise for his mistake with him bringing out the convenient mental health excuse to try and evade scrutiny. Edouard is yet to comment on the entire set of events which unraveled.
The Chelsea goalkeeper has fast become a fan favourite at Stamford Bridge with him needing little time to endear to the faithful of the club with his electric displays.
