A goalkeeper for a non-league team based near Southampton has been sent off for urinating in a hedge during an FA Cup qualifier.

Connor Maseko of Blackfield & Langley FC was shown a red card after nature called during their 0-0 draw with Shepton Mallet on Saturday.

Blackfield & Langley FC co-manager Conor McCarthy told BBC Sport: "He needed to go to the toilet so he went up against a hedge and their players started shouting saying 'what's he doing?' to the ref.

"The ref went up to him and decided to send him off."

Meseko has type 1 diabetes and the club is appealing the red card.
