In Wales, a footballer could be arrested for elbowing an opponent

A strange and serious incident occurred in the third tier of the Welsh league during the match between «Trearddur Bay» and «Portmadog». The 35-year-old footballer Tom Taylor suddenly struck the opposing team’s forward Danny Brookwell in the face with an elbow. This was reported by euro-football.ru reports .

Most notably, it is said the incident happened while a penalty was being taken. The blow was completely unexpected for Brookwell, and the fact that it occurred at that exact moment made Taylor’s situation even worse.

As a result, the club parted ways with Taylor and described his action as unsporting and hooligan-like. In addition, local police opened a case over deliberate violence on the pitch, and the player’s arrest cannot be ruled out.
