Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak Is Spotted At A Football Game, And The Commentator Let Loose

The Match of the Day Commentator Jonathan Pearce saw the chance to swipe at the former PM and took it without hesitation.

Rishi Sunak was spotted attending a Southampton v Brighton game at St Mary’s on Sunday for the first time since Southampton was promoted to the Premier League last year. 

The camera found Sunak in the crowd after his team conceded a goal, to which Pearce said:

“Rishi Sunak relegated last year...His football team will be relegated this year. That’s a rare double for you!” 

Fans online enjoyed the dig stating that Sunak had been “bodied” and joking “terrorised Rishi there.”
