UJAH APOLOGIZED FOR OVER-CELEBRATION WITH GOAT

Cologne and Super Eagles striker Anthony Ujah has been forced to publicly apologise to the club's mascot for the third time in as many years after man-handling him during an over-zealous goal celebration on Saturday afternoon.

Having just put his side 4-1 up over Eintracht Frankfurt, Ujah charged over to Hennes the goat and proceeded to attempt to mount the poor thing by grabbing him by the horns.

Hennes feel Ujah's celebration was too much

Hennes, a club legend, didn't take too kindly to the heavy-handed treatment and as such, Ujah took to Instagram after the game to apologise to his friend.

This isn't the first time that Hennes has had a run in with Ujah, with the Nigerian striker taking the pair's "friendship" a little too far after scoring against Paderborn in 2013 and again after scoring against Hertha Berlin the following year.

Indeed, the former incident saw Ujah alarm Hennes to such an extent that he later felt compelled to visit his hairy little buddy in person at his stables with a peace offering of fresh carrots.

Anyway, despite Ujah making amends, there are still a few concerns about Hennes' welfare, with Cologne sporting director Jorg Schmadtke telling Sky Germany that the club are planning to send their beloved mascot to a local zoo for a bit of well-deserved relaxation.

"Hennes is used to a lot. He might have a neck pain now," said Schmadtke.

"We'll reset him in the zoo, and he'll get a heat plaster. That should do the trick."
