Premier League star booked for kissing opponent on the pitch in tough encounter

- Ashley Barnes clashed with Cardiff City's Joe Bennet during a Premier League clash

- Barnes was eventually booked for planting a kiss on Bennet during the confrontation

- Burnley won the match 2-0 thanks to Chris Wood's brace

A Premier League match pitting Burnley and Cardiff City played on Saturday, April 13, was characterized by dramatic scenes even as the Clarets marched to a 2-0 victory.

The high stakes relegation battle presented a rather bizarre incident after Burnley's Ashley Barnes kissed his opponent on the nose to earn a booking from Mike Dean who officiated the match.

The incident happened moments before the break when Cardiff City's Joe Bennett fouled Barnes to spark an ugly confrontation.

In a video that has since gone viral, the two players can be seen embroiled in a face-off before Barnes decided to kiss Bennett on the bridge of the nose twice.

Both players were booked for their actions, and luckily for Barnes, Harry Arter was there to pull him away from the flash point.
