Brighton fans make shameless comments to defend Hemed's stamp on Yedlin after the striker's bizarre statement

Brighton striker Tomer Hemed has come out with a bizarre statement after being found guilty of violent conduct following a stamp on NUFC's DeAndre Yedlin last weekend, continuing to claim he is innocent - sparking some shameless comments from Brighton fans who've jumped to his defence.

The Israeli forward appealed the decision, but has see that rejected, meaning he will serve a 3-match ban after the FA reviewed the incident that took place in the game at the Amex last Sunday.

Here's what Hemed has said following confirmation of his ban:
