Two Southampton fans arrested after making plane gestures following death of Emiliano Sala

Two Southampton fans were detained by police for mocking the death of Emiliano Sala by making airplane gestures towards Cardiff City supporters inside St Mary’s Stadium.

This was Cardiff’s first game since it was confirmed that their £15million signing had died in a plane crash and tributes were paid to the player following the tragedy.

Yet sickening footage emerged afterwards showing two men in the stands at St Mary’s, stretching their arms out wide and pretending to be planes towards the away end.

A Southampton supporter was seen looking across at the Cardiff fans and making the gesture
He held his arms outstretched and bobbed from side to side to replicate a plane's movement

Keep an eye on the bloke in the middle, making plane expressions just two days after the Emiliano Sala confirmation, glad to say they both got ejected but had to shame them #CCFC #SOUCAR pic.
