Video: Footballer from Ukraine takes pretending to be injured to a whole new level

Metalurg Donetsk player goes from what looks like a life-threatening injury to running around fine

In a game rife with simulation it takes a lot to shock football fans these days but this clip, from a game in Ukraine, between Metalurg Donetsk and Karpaty Lviv, will certainly do it. With the game in injury time and the scores tied at 1-1, Metalurg's Oleksandr Noyok tried to buy his team a free with a display of acting that wouldn't be out of place in a terrible soap opera. Sadly we don't see what caused Noyok to go to ground but as you'll see, once he realises that the referee is having none of it, he hops up and returns to full health. That or it is a bona fide miracle... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfuZzXjELG4&feature=youtu.be
