Video: Italian player sent off for smashing dugout while celebrating

An Italian striker has been sent off for a bizarre goal celebration in which he leapt through his side's dugout head first.

The incident took place in an amateur match between Pontilcelli and Riolo Terme after a goalkeeping error had gifted the striker an easy tap-in from close range.

He then ran over to the bench and smashed the plastic dugout with a headbutt, and was immediately given his marching orders by the referee.
