Player Gets Bizarre Yellow Card for Hopping onto Opponent's Back and Kisisng Him

• There was a hilarious moment in the English Championship as a Sunderland player decided to use uncouth methods to quell a counterattack
• Luke O’Nien received a yellow card for a piggyback on Bristol City’s Alex Scott late in the game
• The two sides settled for a draw as Sunderland’s hopes for a place in the playoff places remain alive

Fans who witnessed the Sunderland against Bristol City game on Saturday, February 18 were treated to a comical moment as one player decided to piggyback his opponent to stop a counter attack.

The Black Cats went into the game with some optimism, especially after a recent emphatic win over QPR in midweek.

They took the lead in the 59th minute after a goalless first half thanks to Jack Clarke’s brilliant strike.

However, just as they looked to be heading for a third straight win, Sunderland conceded a penalty after Jay Dasilva burst into a box and was taken down by Alex Hume.

The Piggyback incident

In truth, Bristol City had been pushing for an equalizer for large parts of the second half.

In fact, in the 81st minute, Sunderland’s Luke O’Nien resorted to desperate measures to attempt to quell an attack as he literally hopped onto the back of Bristol’s Alex Scott and the referee had no option but to brandish a yellow card.

Interestingly, Scott took the foul like a champ as he did not retort, as O’Nien planted a kiss on him in apology. The incident is simply hilarious to watch.

In the Premier League, Sports Brief reported on an equally hilarious incident involving Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.

It happened in the 89th minute, with Arsenal deadlocked at 2-2 with Villa and Arteta growing increasingly frustrated.

The Arsenal boss was keen on seeing his side attack from a free kick but referee Simon Hooper brought playback from a counter since the ball was still rolling from a dead-ball situation.

Following the referee’s decision, Arteta was seen mocking Hooper with the same gesture the match official did, and it left fans on social media in hysterics.
