Bailey Peacock-Farrell, currently on loan at Danish club AGF, had a moment to forget during his latest match. The goalkeeper, who previously played for Burnley, started walking off the pitch before he was even shown a red card after a moment of madness.
Misfortune Strikes for Peacock-Farrell
In a Superliga clash against Brondby, Peacock-Farrell slipped as he went to clear a back pass. He then tried again, only for the ball to bounce off the post and towards attacker Mathias Kvistgaarden, who had an open goal. In an attempt to prevent a goal, Peacock-Farrell hauled down the striker and began walking off the pitch before the referee had a chance to show him the red card.
Fans React with Humor
Fans couldn't help but poke fun at Peacock-Farrell's misfortune, with some comparing his effort to a rugby tackle. One fan joked, "Bring him back to Leeds…Rhinos." Another tweeted, "Great tackle and legal under the new Rugby Football Union tackle laws as well!" Many fans questioned the goalkeeper's abilities, with one commenting, "Northern Ireland's no.1 right there…"
Costly Penalty
The resulting penalty was converted by Daniel Wass, giving Brondby the lead in the 25th minute. The extra man advantage allowed Brondby to dominate the match, eventually winning 3-0.
