A TEENAGER abused England striker Callum Wilson on X/Twitter because he passed the ball to a white team-mate instead of scoring himself.
Ibukun Quadri was 19 when he called the player a racially derogatory term for setting up Jack Grealish in the 2022 World Cup 6-2 victory over Iran.

He wrote: “Wilson you are a **** for that”, Westminster JPs heard.
He told cops later that the previous four scorers had been black and if Newcastle’s Wilson had scored “it would have been a great achievement for black people”.
Andrew Benington, defending, said “silly” Quadri had “not realised the racial connotations” of his comment.
Quadri, 21, of Crayford, South East London, admitted sending a communication conveying an offensive message.
Judge John Zani said: “Mr Quadri, you are obviously an intelligent young man.
“You made a very serious mistake of judgement.
“You need to learn the gravity of sending such communication and the effect it can have.
“I do not have the view of sending you to prison for this.”
Quadri was bailed for reports.
