Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno has been slammed by fans for his behaviour in the Cottagers' defeat to Bournemouth.
Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno appeared to push a ball boy as his team suffered a 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth on Tuesday.
Marco Silva's side were trailing 2-0 when the former Arsenal goalkeeper approached the ball boy to expedite the game's restart. Leno retrieved the ball and seemed to push the ball boy with his left hand before taking his goal kick.

Following the game, the former Arsenal star received widespread condemnation on social media for his actions, with fans branding his behaviour 'disgusting'.
