This is the hilarious moment Wanderson Cristaldo Farias jumped into the crowd to kiss his wife after he scored – only to find out the goal was had been disallowed once he ran back on to the pitch.

The Brazilian was made to look a right muppet when he thought he had opened the scoring for Bulgarian side Ludogorets in their First Division game against Slavia Sofia.

Having stabbed the ball home at the far post, the 31-year-old wheeled away in celebration and headed toward the stand behind the goal to find his wife.

The delighted midfielder spotted his missus in the corner and she bound down the stairs to meet him.

Once she arrived at pitch level, the beaming pair leaned over the advertising hoarding, exchanged some brief words and shared a passionate snog.

But Wanderson’s joy was short lived as he turned round to re-enter the field of play only to realise the goal had been chalked off and the teams had played on without him.

Twitter user Mshumanov postyed the video online with the caption: “One of this weekend’s funniest moments in Bulgarian football.

“Wanderson scoring for Ludogorets against Slavia, then celebrating by kissing his wife in the stands, without realising his goal has been ruled for offside.
