Olayinka’s Belgian club Zulte-Waregem won 2-0 at Dutch club Vitesse Arnhem last night.

A shocked Olayinka told reporters after the match: “The little boy abused me ‘stupid, black idiot, black idiot’ after which he started laughing in my face.”

The KAA Gent loanee was angered by this abuse.

It was also a game where the tall striker’s compatriot Kingsley Madu was sent off after just 22 minutes for a second booking.
