In one of the most bizarre goal celebrations you are likely to see, Cologne forward Anthony Ujah grabbed the club's mascot, Hennes the goat, by the horns in over-exuberant celebration.

However, Ujah was a bit too excited and pulled on the horns of poor Hennes with such force that he has since tweeted an apology to the goat.

"Yeeeeees. Finally a win for us at home and what a special way it came," Ujah wrote after Cologne won for the first time in seven matches.

"Sorry to Hennes I was a bit too hard on him."

Today, Ujah went a step further, visiting Hennes to feed him carrots on his eighth birthday...
