Hibernian secured a 1-0 win over Dundee United on Friday night as Jason Cummings went from hero to slightly less of a hero in a match where both teams finished with 10 men.
Dundee United lost Lewis Toshney for a second yellow after just 31 mins, and it was Cummings who gave Hibs the lead just eight minutes later, but the real talking point of the game came in the second half.
Already on a yellow card, Cummings had a rush of blood to the head and when a cross flashed by a good foot away from where he wanted it to be, he inexplicably went full Superman and palmed the ball into the back of the net hoping that the goal would stand.
The replays showed what an easy decision it was for the referee to disallow it, and keep an eye out for the moment where he realises 'Oh shit, what have I done!?' but knows he has to get up and celebrate anyway on the off chance that it was missed by the officials.
Comedy stuff.
Luckily for Cummings, Hibs would hold on to extend their lead at the top of the Scottish Championship to nine points. Still, he'll be missing for the next game thanks to a baffling brainfart.
Will there be a funnier handball all season? Not likely.
