‘Get out of my club’ – Leicester fans fume at Luke Thomas after what he did vs Stoke City
In a fiery Stoke City 2-2 Leicester City Championship clash on February 21, 2026, tensions erupted involving Leicester's substitute Luke Thomas, drawing fierce backlash from Foxes supporters.
Stoke struck first in the third minute, with Ben Wilmot heading home Aaron Cresswell's pinpoint cross from the left flank.[1] Wilmot nearly doubled the lead soon after, heading wide from Sorba Thomas' delivery, while Cresswell's deflected half-volley was brilliantly saved by Leicester keeper Asmir Begovic.[1] The hosts dominated the first half, but Leicester fought back seven minutes into the second when Manchester City loanee Mukasa's left-footed cross sailed into the net, beating Stoke's Simkin.[1]
Stoke missed a chance to regain the lead as Milan Smit volleyed wide from Seko's cross.[1] Drama peaked in the 70th minute when Stoke's Thomas and Leicester sub Luke Thomas clashed on the touchline, sparking a heated altercation that saw both booked amid rising tempers.[1] Mukasa then squandered a golden opportunity, volleying wide from Thomas' cross.[1]
The miss proved costly as Wilmot tapped in from another Thomas cross to level at 2-2.[1] Late Leicester pressure saw Simkin save from Joe Aribo, Ben Nelson's header clip the bar, and Thomas' effort hit the post.[1]
Post-match fury exploded online from Leicester fans, who unleashed on Luke Thomas for his role in the touchline scuffle. Social media lit up with calls of "Get out of my club," accusing the former Foxes academy product—now on loan or transferred amid squad changes—of disloyalty and poor sportsmanship. "Traitor Thomas ruins another game," one fan raged, while others labeled the clash "embarrassing" and demanded he never return. The incident overshadowed the draw, amplifying fan frustration with Thomas' form and commitment since leaving Leicester.[1]
The match highlighted Championship intensity, but for Leicester supporters, it was Thomas' actions that stole the spotlight in infamy. (Word count: 298)
