Watch: Striker's celebration goes wrong and ends with fall down large drop
Benjamin Kololli will never forget FC Zurich’s game at AEK Larnaca.
The Serbian striker netted the only goal of the game from the spot, but it his celebration, or failed celebration, that will live long in the memory.
Kololli gave Zurich the lead from the penalty spot just after the hour mark, right in front of Zurich’s travelling supporters.

He quickly decided to celebrate with the fans who had made the 1500 mile trip from Switzerland to Cyprus for the game.
After hurdling the advertising boardings, Kololli jumped over a concrete wall to greet the fans, not realising there was in-fact a large drop on the other side.
Mind the gap! ⚠️

While the fans continued to celebrate, his team-mates quickly peered their heads over the wall to see where the 26-year-old had disappeared too.
Fortunately for Kololli, he did not injure himself and was hauled back over the wall, before being able to carry on playing.
And he certainly saw the funny side, re-appearing with a large grin on his face.
