TPS’s star forward Lukas Wernblom received an unusual ejection in Saturday’s Liiga match against Lukko. He was thrown out for biting.
Wernblom bit Lukko’s defender Peetro Seppälä on the hand during a scuffle in front of the goal.
The bitten Seppälä briefly commented on the unusual situation during a break in the second period in an interview with MTV.
– I don’t know if I should elaborate on it any further. A tooth went through the skin. But that’s that, moving on, Seppälä said.
The match commentator Toni Saukkola also asked Seppälä if he thought the biting was a valid reason for the ejection.
– Yes, Seppälä confirmed.
In addition to the ejection, the case was forwarded to the Liiga’s disciplinary delegation for review.
