As reported byThe Sport Bible, the 28 year-old received the ball in his own 18 yard box, under no pressure, and then proceeded to flick the ball up in order to head it back to goalkeeper Samir Handanovic.


The rules state that no trickery may be used to circumvent the back pass rule, and should a player attempt to do so it must result in a booking. The incident is the second of it's kind this season, after Paris Saint-Germain's Marco Verratti was cautioned for kneeling in order to head back to his goalkeeper.
