Kiwior Returns MOTM Award Amid Fan Backlash

Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior has opened up about a disappointing experience following his recent performance against Everton. Despite being named Man of the Match in what was his first time receiving the honor at the Emirates, the moment was soured by an unexpected wave of criticism from fans.

Kiwior revealed that instead of celebrating the achievement, he was met with a barrage of messages from Arsenal supporters demanding he hand the award over to another teammate—one many fans believed deserved it more. The unnamed player reportedly earned a stellar 9/10 rating for a tireless display during the match.

“I was looking forward to enjoying this milestone, but fans filled my DMs saying I should give it to someone more deserving,” Kiwior stated. “For the sake of peace, I’ve done just that.”

Though his decision to return the award shows humility, it also raises questions about fan behavior. While passionate support is expected, many believe this situation crossed the line, turning a proud moment into one of frustration.

Fans are now being urged to show more respect and appreciation to players, regardless of personal opinions, and to remember the human side of professionalathletes.
