A game in the Turkish league between Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce had to be abandoned this weekend after an assistant referee was assaulted by a rogue fan.
Home side Trabzonspor were 4-0 down at the time when one fan jumped on to the pitch and pushed the official, Volkan Bayarslan, to the ground. He then proceeded to lay into the referee’s goal line assistant in truly shocking scenes.
The incident meant the game was immediately called off with both sets of players and officials running off the field.
Fenerbahce are likely to be awarded a win for the game meaning the points difference between themselves and Besiktas, the Super Lig leaders, will be reduced to one with four weeks to go.
No doubt Trabzonspor will be dealt a heft fine after failing to control the violent member of their support.
Sickening stuff…
