It's no longer news that football can sometimes get a bit rough. However, the scenes that unfolded last Sunday on the 3rd matchday of the Women's League Cup between Leicester City and Crystal Palace are not something we see every week.

It was already the 58th minute, and Crystal Palace was leading 3-0. One might think the tension would be over. But Palace midfielder Ruesha Littlejohn completely lost her cool after a seemingly unspectacular foul.

The 35-year-old decided to take a new career path and transformed into a wrestler.

It goes without saying that she received a red card for this action. It is still unclear how many games Littlejohn will be suspended for.
