A footballer was arrested during a match and escorted off the pitch just after he had scored a goal.
This happened during a second-tier Welsh league game between Baglan Dragons and Cwmbran Celtic in the JD Cymru South.
The player, who had come on as a substitute in the 52nd minute with his team trailing 3-1, made an immediate impact by assisting two goals and netting the decisive goal for his side.
Just a casual game in the Welsh leagues. A lad gets subbed on, scores a goal and gets an assist. Then gets arrested in the 85th minute. Only in south wales 🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/ACk9mCjTX3

However, just moments after his crucial contributions, police arrived on the scene and arrested the 31-year-old player.
