After the game, the Dutchman also took to Twitter to comment on the game, but fans were surprised by what he said. Instead of reeling out a standard 'Buzzing with the win, fans were amazing, happy to score but the most important thing is survival. #CPFC", he issued an apology to the Stoke fans for scoring the goal that relegated them.

You won't be surprised to hear that it got a mixed reaction. Some took issue with him praising Stoke's fans, given their record of booing the likes of Aaron Ramsey, while others questioned why a professional footballer would apologise for scoring a goal.

Some other people, less prone to outrage, found the tweet to be a nice, classy touch.
