Sunderland boss criticised by fans for making gesture after Oxford game

A supporter claimed that Sunderland boss Lee Johnson made a gesture towards fans after their game on Saturday

Sunderland boss Lee Johnson was criticised by fans after appearing to make a gesture  to a supporter following his side's 1-1 draw at home to Oxford United on Saturday. As reported by the Sunderland Echo, the incident occurred at full-time after Sunderland were held to a stalemate at the Stadium of Light. The result was a frustrating one for those present as the Wearsiders sit fifth in the League One table - two points behind top spot, but for one fan, he wasn't impressed and was alleged to have made a comment towards Johnson. Incensed by what was said, Johnson was accused by supporters who witnessed the altercation of waving his hand towards the fan, before walking off. And the fan who Johnson allegedly directed the gesture towards rang into BBC Radio Newcastle to provide his account of what happened. “A lot of people have seen it [the incident with Johnson]," he explained. “It is disgusting. It is embarrassing and I’m angry, really really angry. “I’m just raging. Absolutely raging.
