Jose Fonte was the hero for Southampton on Tuesday, scoring the only goal in a 1-0 victory over Hull City at the KC Stadium and helping his club climb to eighth in the Premier League table.
But he had to pay for it, as evidenced by this gruesome photo that he posted on his Instagram account showcasing the damage done to his shin in the contest.
Warning: Not for the faint of heart.
The photo was accompanied by the message: Fair to say i need some proper shin pads!!
Yes, yes you do.
