Claudio Ranieri Unleashes Scathing Attack on Fulham Striker Aboubakar Kamara After Penalty Debacle

Fulham manager Claudio Ranieri has launched a scathing attack on striker Aboubakar Kamara, after the Frenchman refused to let designated taker Aleksandar Mitrovic take a penalty against Huddersfield.

The 23-year-old earned the Cottagers the opportunity to win the game with ten minutes remaining, when he was fouled inside the Terriers penalty area.

Inexplicably, Kamara then refused to hand the ball over to teammate Mitrovic, ensuing in a slanging match between the two players on field. Despite the protestations of many of his teammates, as well as Ranieri on the touchline, Kamara refused to hand over the ball and stepped up to take the penalty - which was subsequently saved by Huddersfield goalkeeper Jonas Lossl.
