Aston Villa winger Anwar El Ghazi has spoken about how sickening social media abuse led to him quitting Twitter.
The Dutchman has been one of Dean Smith's star men this season and is enjoying his best scoring season since arriving in England in 2018, with his eight Premier League goals in 23 appearances helping the team to a comfortable position in mid-table.
The latest of El Ghazi's strikes was a brilliant curling winner in last weekend's 2-1 victory over Everton at Goodison Park, but a late miss against the same opponents last July in Villa's tense battle against relegation saw him receive an avalanche of hate.
