Wolves’ Yerson Mosquera fingers Gabriel Jesus’ ass and chokes Kai Havertz, video goes viral
Earlier, in the Premier League match between Arsenal vs Wolves, the 23-year-old Colombian footballer grabbed headlines for not so good reasons as he got involved in two controversial moments.
What Exactly Happened?
The first bizarre incident took place when Mosquera successfully dispossessed Kai Havertz. However, as Havertz fell to the ground, he reached out and grabbed Mosquera by the neck in an attempt to regain control of the ball.
Reacting to this, Mosquera appeared to almost choke Havertz in response, though he quickly released his grip after realizing the potential consequences.

The brief but intense altercation caught the attention of many, raising questions about whether Mosquera’s actions could be deemed violent conduct.
Despite the apparent aggression, the incident was reviewed by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), and surprisingly, no action was taken against the Wolves defender.
Mosquera escaped without even a yellow card, leaving fans and pundits questioning the decision-making process.
Later in the match, Yerson Mosquera again got involved in an unusual moment when he bizarrely grabbed Gabriel Jesus’ backside while the Arsenal striker was adjusting his boots.
An enraged Jesus pushed Mosquera away and ended up receiving a yellow card for his reaction, further fueling the controversy.

These incidents overshadowed Arsenal’s Premier League opener, where the Gunners ultimately secured victory.
The lack of punishment for Mosquera has sparked debate over the consistency of refereeing decisions and the effectiveness of VAR in addressing such incidents.
Social Media User’s Reactions
One such user took to X and penned, “Mosquera has also just touched Jesus’ bottom. This guy must be suspended.” Another one added, “I’m a wolves fan and personally think it’s a blatant red.
“Mosquera completely lost his head. Any wolves fans saying it isn’t would be screaming for a red if it was the other way round.” A third one joined, “He deliberately put his hand to Havertz neck, then falls, leaning the whole time on his neck! Disgusting.”
Let us remind you, that Arsenal is set to face Aston Villa on August 24.
