Fulham player Calvin Bassey encountered the embarrassing moment of slipping off his shorts several times in his away game against Brighton last Saturday. Now he posted on social media to respond to the matter.
In that game, Fulham and Brighton tied 1-1. During the game, Bassi had to repeatedly deal with the problem of slipping off his pants, and fans jokingly said he might need to invest in more fitting trousers.
On Monday, Bassi broke his silence on social media, writing: "My pants will be lifted." He added a smiley expression to the copy.
A fan responded: "This is all a strategy to confuse your opponents, right?"
Another fan joked: "There is no underwear or belt brand to come to you for an endorsement."
This is not the first time that Bassi has encountered a shorts crisis in the Premier League. During the pre-match warm-up against Arsenal in April, when he bent down in the corner flag area to interact with the home fans who sang "What are you old?", the action of slapping his butt caused him to reveal his butt.
