‘Tis many a time that a man’s mouth broke his nose.

So we have zero sympathy for Alvaro Morata tonight after he got involved in some tetchy verbals at the end of tonight’s Serie A clash between Juventus and Napoli.

Juve led 3-1 in the closing stages when Miguel Britos and the Spanish international had a coming together.

Whatever was said Britos didn’t take too kindly and aimed the most perfect headbutt at the striker’s nose.

Of course he was sent off.
