Supporters of Wolverhampton Wanderers have fumed over footage shared by Tim Spiers of the incident between Jonny Otto and a Liverpool ball boy.
On Monday afternoon, the Athletic reporter was on hand to share footage from Sky News which showed the slight altercation between the Spaniard and the ball boy (per Tim Spiers, via @footsyball2019), which frustrated fans due to an investigation coming from it.

All I can say is Jonny is a better man than me. Given the timing of the incident and emotion of the game, he shows admirable restraint.

Will anything come of the investigation into the incident with Jonny Otto and the ball boy?Yes, could be in trouble
No, clearly nothing happened

Spiers also went on to explain that the complaint about the incident had come from neither Liverpool, nor the ballboy, but another party (per Tim Spiers), however, fans were still furious.

What do we think?
It seems that what happened is something and nothing. Furthermore, with the complaint coming from neither Liverpool or the ball boy, it is a strange one that nothing will come of most likely.
