UFC fighter Paddy Pimblett was ejected from the Watford versus Liverpool match after he was given tickets by Ben Foster.
The Liverpool supporter shared footage of himself being ejected from the Sir Elton John stand, after celebrating one of the visitors' five goals that they scored against the Hornets on Saturday.
He later revealed that he had been given the tickets by the goalkeeper.
"Stewards on a power trip kicking us out for celebrating WOW!" Pimblett wrote on Instagram.
"Cannot believe the audacity of these stewards singling us out when multiple ppl celebrated around us an escorted us out the stadium @watfordfcofficial do something about ur stewards."
Asked on Twitter why he had not been sitting with the travelling supporters, he replied: "Ben foster gave me the tickets fella I didn’t get to pick where I sat."
Pimblett also claims to have been kicked out of a pub in the town, again for celebrating Liverpool goals, because "it's a home boozer".
The fighter shared video footage to his Instagram story, in which he said: "Been kicked out of the match for celebrating, now we've been kicked out of the boozer by stewards because it's a home boozer.
"Ben Foster, I love you lad, but I hope Watford go down, yous are horrible."
The Watford Observer understands Watford FC are dealing with the matter internally.
