A Premier League club aimed a pretty harsh dig at Ben Foster and Wrexham following their thrilling 5-5 draw against Swindon at the weekend.
Drama is never far from Wrexham and on Saturday the Red Dragons featured in one of the most dramatic fixtures in recent memory.
The League Two side, who are in the fourth tier of English football for the first time in 15 years, found themselves 4-1 down at home to Swindon.
However, the Welsh club somehow managed to battle back, scoring twice in second half stoppage time to secure an improbable point.
Premier League club aim harsh dig at Ben Foster and Wrexham following 5-5 draw
Wrexham have scored 13 goals so far this season, the most in the division, however, their porous defence has seen them concede a number of soft goals.
Ben Foster was guilty of letting a few saveable shots in at the weekend, and came under a fair amount scrutiny before announcing his retirement on Monday (more on that in a minute).
However, one Premier League side aimed a particularly harsh dig at Foster and Wrexham following the 5-5 thriller.
Aston Villa announced new signing Nicolo Zaniolo on TikTok with a footage of the Italian walking around the club’s training facilities with the song Rockin’ All Over the World playing.
The Status Quo song has been adopted by many fans around the country, including Wrexham who have created their own lyrics with Ben Foster.
The official Wrexham account responded in the comments of Villa’s video saying: ‘Super Ben Foster in goal?
To which Villa’s official account replied: ‘Our keeper [Emi Martinez] wins world cups, your keeper cycles to work,’ referencing Foster’s YouTube channel The Cycling GK.
It was a subtle and somewhat unnecessary dig, and the admin appears to have since deleted the comment from the video below.
Foster announced his retirement following disappointing performance vs Swindon
Following the game, Foster announced his decision to retire from professional football, citing his recent poor performances as a major reason for his decision.
“The honest truth is that my performances this season haven’t reached the level I demand of myself and I feel that now is the right time to retire,” Foster told Wrexham’s website.
“At the forefront of my mind when making this decision was not only what was best for me but also the club, and making the decision now gives the club every opportunity to assess their options before the window closes. Wrexham will always have a special place in my heart.”
In a subsequent video, Foster admitted that he’d been “brutally honest” with himself and that he “can’t really do what he used to do.”
He added that he thinks there’s already been four of five goals this season that he should have saved, which is ultimately why he made the decision.
