Fan complains to Twitter user’s employer about Islamaphobic Mohamed Salah tweet

When Mohamed Salah posted an image on Twitter of his Halloween costume on Twitter, an account with the handle @ConnorTriggs1, posted a quote tweet that some have deemed as Islamaphobic.

An Arsenal fan, with the handle @zak_afc, claims to have found the owner of the @ConnorTriggs1 handle and has written a complaint to his employers to show his anger and upset at the tweet, although there is no 100% definitive way to know if the origianl tweeter is the person found by @ConnorTriggs1.

The @ConnorTriggs1 account is no longer active on Twitter, so it looks like the owner has deleted the account following the backlash from his post about Salah.
