It all took place in the early minutes when referee Daniele Orsato sprayed some foam on the pitch ahead of a free-kick for the visitors.

Orsato bent over to draw the line and accidentally headbutted Walker on his way up.

The impact wasn’t severe but it did sting a little as the official held his head before immediately apologising to the Citizens’ full-back.
