Kieran Gibbs and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Stormzy and Lukaku and now Christian Kabasele and Abdoulaye Doucoure. You would think that how easy it is to fact check players photographs that these kind of mix ups would happen less and less. Apparently not.
Watford's Abdouleye Doucoure has been turning heads in the Premier League as of late. The French midfielder has been in fine form for the Hornets scoring seven goals this season.
BBC, reporting on interest from Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs, posted an article on their Twitter page, but used a picture of Watford defender Christian Kabasele instead of Doucoure.
Kabasele then took a screenshot and rightfully chided BBC for not doing their due diligence.

Kabasele seemed to take the mistake in good humour and the Congolese born centre back seems to be good craic on social media:

The Belgian international then compounded BBC's error by changing his profile picture to that of team mate Abdoulaye Doucoure:
