Many strange things have been seen on a football pitch - from cats to Eric Cantona impersonators.

However, last night's Capital One Cup match between Bournemouth and Liverpool saw something completely original when a player appeared to lose what looked like a wig.

Bournemouth's teenage defender Baily Cargill was bringing the ball out of defence before making a simple pass across midfield. As he did so, something fell from his head.

The 19-year-old took a quick glance at the item, which appeared to be some sort of hair-piece designed to give the impression of a pony-tail, before running off and leaving it on the turf.

However, Bournemouth have since moved to clear up any confusion, revealing on Twitter that Cargill was actually wearing a bandage.

Cargill was a surprise starter for the Championship outfit who were unable to produce a shock against their Premier League rivals.

Raheem Sterling was on target twice with Lazar Markovic scoring a goal in between to put Brendan Rodgers' side in command of the tie. Dan Gosling scored a consolation but it couldn't stop Liverpool from setting up a semi-final meeting against Chelsea.
