Emmanuel Emenike forces own substitution amid abuse from Fenerbache supporters

Emmanuel Emenike stormed off the field after the Fenerbache striker was the victim of alleged abuse from his own fans in Turkey.


The Nigeria international appeared to angrily remove his shirt and marched towards the sidelines during Sunday night’s match against rivals Besiktas.

But his coaches on the touchline ordered him to put his top back on and continue playing, which he did. 

Emenike has endured a difficult time in front of goal this season, netting just four times in 22 appearances, and after squandering a first-half chance, he was jeered before boss Ismail Kartal opted to withdraw him.

Senegalese front-man Moussa Sow, meanwhile, scored a dramatic 91 minute winner to secure three points for Fenerbache. 

The result sees the club remain third in the Turkish Super League table with 53 points from 25 games, two behind the pace of first-placed Galatasaray.
