You know, some things in life make little sense. Like, for example, the contribution of mosquitoes to the food chain, how Donald Trump managed to become the president of the USA, celebrating goals in pre-season friendly games and celebrating goals with audacious summersaults.

But when you combine the last two things into one, you realise that you have the mother of all the WTF moments.

So this is what Celestine Babayaro gifted to Chelsea fans when he celebrated a goal by doing his ‘trademark’ summersault goal celebration in a pre-season friendly game for Chelsea. He had only just joined the Blues and was playing in his first pre-season for the Londoners, but broke his leg doing his goal celebration.
