An embarrassed reporter was forced into a hasty apology after inadvertently insulting Jarrad Branthwaite's hometown while interviewing him.
Everton defender Branthwaite is currently on loan in the Dutch top flight with PSV Eindhoven. The 20-year-old joined the Blues from Carlisle United in 2020 and was born in the Cumbrian city.
The centre-back was being interviewed after PSV's 3-1 KNVB cup win against FC Emmen on Wednesday evening - a match in which Branthwaite scored twice - when ESPN reporter Hans Kraay Jr. decided to share his experience of a previous trip he made to Carlisle United.
