Brennan Johnson quit Instagram due to online abuse back in September after a game against Arsenal.

This week, Pedro Porro reshared a statistic posted on X that stated: “Pedro Porro is the only defender to be directly involved in 20+ Premier League goals since he made his debut in the competition in February 2023.”

Fans gave him a barrage of abuse, including @FUTSPY writing: 'What an embarrassment, his defensive negligence removes all of his attacking contributions so he's at a net zero contribution.”

While @jackcolegolf posted: “Needs to be more proud of trying to keep clean sheets as he is a "defender". All well and good going forward but do your job first and foremost.”

As a result of the abuse in the last 24 hours, Porro has deactivated his account on X.
