After seeing his side go 2-1 up over fellow Europa League qualification candidates Gaz Matan in the Romanian Premier League at the weekend, Rapid Bucharest coach Marius Sumudica couldn’t hide his jubilation and duly charged onto the pitch to celebrate a goal on the stroke of half-time with the Rapid fans situated at the far end of the stadium.

Such was the sheer ecstasy pumping through Sumudica’s veins that he even delivered a cheeky peck to the referee’s cheek as the official attempted to usher him back to the dugout…

Can’t quite imagine Sir Alex taking to the FA’s new ‘Respect’ campaign quite so enthusiastically.
