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.

Meanwhile, Chris Wood's brace during the tie was the difference as Burnley carted away all the three points at Turf Moor.

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.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
