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