Eni Aluko is being pounded online for her messed up investigation of Brazilian forward Richarlison.

In spite of training watchers to 'do the maths', it immediately became obvious that Aluko hadn't done the maths herself.

Furthermore, football fans have burned through no time in bringing up her live mistake.

"He [Richarlison] truly has [had a major impact]," she said.

"He's the top scorer for Brazil throughout recent years. He has an extraordinary record, 19 of every 40 appearances, you crunch the numbers on that - that is one objective a game, basically."
At the point when somebody cut the recording up and tossed it on Twitter, it didn't take long for fans to begin heaping in.

The greater part saw the amusing side of her innocent mix-up, participating with some cheerful exchange.
Yet, tragically, a portion of the remarks turned extremely chauvinist.

Others rushed to jump to Aluko's protection, however, closing down the misanthropic comments.

Aluko as of late impacted the world forever by being a piece of the very first all-female transmission board at a men's Reality Cup close by Karen Carney and Seema Jaswal.
At the point when individual games journalist Beth Fisher tweeted about the memorable second, she was tragically met with push-back from football fans.

One individual answered: "Incredible to see more ladies commentating across different high-profile sports, yet this line makes me self-conscious and begin believing there's a container ticking exercise going on. I want to see the
Generally educated and engaging individuals for the gig, not continuously hoping to 'leave a mark on the world'."

Yet, Fisher hit back, saying: "OK ITV put three ladies to communicate in a significant competition just to mark boxes. Nothing to do with the way that they are the absolute best telecasters out there..."
