Anthony Knockaert, the former Leicester City winger, has lashed out at Watford fans on social media for their ongoing ridicule regarding his infamous missed penalty during the 2013 Championship play-off semi-final.

In an Instagram rant, Knockaert referred to Watford fans as 'clowns' and criticized the club as 'unstable' due to its frequent managerial changes. He emphasized that without his controversial penalty incident, Watford fans would not have experienced their play-off final loss. Fans reacted with disbelief, suggesting his outburst would likely intensify the teasing he faces. Knockaert's comments have reignited discussions about that legendary match and the lasting impact it had on both him and Watford supporters.
