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.

Cardiff remain 18th on the log with 28 points, with relegation to Championship looking inevitable.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Liverpool striker Sadio Mane was named as the Premier League Player of the Month of March after scoring three goals in four appearances for the Reds.

The Senegal international scored twice in the 4-2 win over Burnley as well as opening the scoring in Liverpool's 2-1 success at Fulham.

Sadio Mane however pipped teammate Andy Robertson as well as Seamus Coleman, Bernardo Silva, Jamie Vardy and James Ward-Prowse to win the prize.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...

TYPES OF DRAMA II

Comedy: We use the words 'comedy' and comic to describe something that is funny in our everyday lives. These include a joke or a fantastic story that is full of nonsense, or an absurd appearance that makes us giggle, smile or laugh. Comedy is not inherent in things or people but the way things/people are perceived. Comedy is a deliberate presentation of events/experiences drawn from real life but not the same with real life. We should therefore not expect dramatic comedy to be the same as real life. Generally, the plays have good endings or resolutions, so when a play ends happily, we refer to it as comedy. In most comedies, the principal characters begin in a state of opposition either to one another or to their world or both. By the end of the play their opposition .is replaced by harmony. Aristotle in-.his “Poetics” insisted that in tragedy men are shown “better than they are”, while in comedy “worse than they are”. For him it is an artistic imitation of men of inferi...
