Amazon Prime football commentators confuse fans after 'distracting' coverage

Everton fans have been expressing their frustration over the coverage of the clash against Wolves.

The Blues faced Wolves in their first Premier League fixture since the conclusion of the World Cup. It was the first competitive fixture Everton had played since the 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth on November 12.

Frank Lampard’s side took the lead early on in the game, thanks to a header from Yerry Mina. However, the visitors soon equalised at Goodison Park with a goal from Daniel Podence.

During the game, though, Everton and Wolves fans noticed something rather distracting during Amazon Prime’s coverage of the match. Whilst the main commentators were talking, some faint audio could be heard of other voices who were not part of the punditry team.

Some fans of both Everton and Wolves remarked on the coverage provided by Amazon by taking to social media to express their irritation. Some found it rather amusing while others seemed quite annoyed by the distraction.

One Everton fan said: “PS @primevideouk can hear full on hear the opinion of whoever is sat near your commentators for the Everton Wolves game. Really distracting!”

While another added: “It is so distracting to be able to hear Osman talking in the background of this commentary the whole match and no one has realised.”

One Wolves fan said: “Can we please stop the random talking that is happening in the background of the commentary track.”

While another said: “Really enjoying hearing these two Everton fans have a chat over the commentary. Cheers Amazon!”

Liverpool are also on Prime with their clash against Aston Villa kicking off at 5.30pm.
