ED SHEERAN was brutally trolled as he watched Ipswich suffer a thrashing against Manchester City.
The pop star is a lifelong Tractor Boy and acquired a minority stake in the club last summer.
He is a regular at Portman Road and looked glum as he watched Pep Guardiola’s side run amock in a 6-0 win.
Sheeran, 33, was trolled by Sky Sports with his side 4-0 down just after half-time.
A photo of the singer was shared on social media alongside a caption which mocked one of his lyrics.
It read: “Loving (football) can hurt sometimes! 🎶”
Sheeran was in a much different mood ahead of kick-off as he bumped into Jack Grealish in the car park outside the ground.
He hugged the England star before shaking hands with Manuel Akanji and Erling Haaland.
A double from Phil Foden and goals from Mateo Kovacic and Jeremy Doku made for a disappointing afternoon for Sheeran.
And things got even worse for Ipswich as Haaland and James McAtee rounded off a resounding win.
Sheeran first became involved with his boyhood club when he sponsored the shirts for the 2021-22 season.
That agreement has remained in place ever since, with the singer also owning 1.4 per cent of the club.
Ipswich are in danger of being relegated as they remain in the bottom three after defeat to City.
Kieran McKenna‘s side are level on points with Wolves in 17th but their goal difference stands at -23 after taking a big hit.
