ISL 2017/18: Twitter trolls Pekuson, hails Karanjit as Southern Derby ends in stalemate

Despite playing with their hearts out, Kerala Blasters were unable to come out victorious in the Southern Derby, and the result they had was frustrating. The draw has however diminished Kerala Blasters' chance to qualify into the top-four. With Courage Pekuson failing to convert a spot-kick into a goal, it was obvious that he'd have to take the blame for the result.

And the prediction was not wrong, fans took to Twitter, trolling Pekuson, and of course, hailing the heroic acts of Chennaiyin's shot-stopper, Karanjit Singh. Let's take a look at the popular tweets.

@jamosfoundation pls bring back our josu instead of pekuson.

@KeralaBlasters @sachin_rt @jamosfoundation @tvaroon Please get rid of @ckvineeth @jackichand10 and Courage Pekuson next season. We only need @Gauib and @Humey_7 in the front.

@jamosfoundation Pekuson was and will always be a mistake for the team. As if we didn't have a better kick taker.
