OMG!!! Player dies celebrating goal

Indian midfielder Peter Biaksangzuala has died from injuries sustained while celebrating a goal.
Biaksangzuala severely damaged his spinal cord when attempting a series of somersaults to celebrate his equaliser for Bethlehem Vengthlang FC during their match against Chanmari West FC last Tuesday, Sky Sportsreports.
The 23-year-old was taken to Aizawl Civil Hospital and underwent surgery on his spine, but died of his injuries on Sunday morning.
A statement on the Mizoram Premier League’s official Facebook page read, “Bethlehem Vengthlang FC midfielder Peter Biaksangzuala lost his fight for survival after he suffered a fatal injury while celebrating his goal.
“It has been a sad day for Mizoram football and the demise of the footballer shook his team-mates, footballers and fans alike all over Mizoram.
“Peter was a defensive midfielder who had always been aggressive and hard working, a true team player. Like most defensive midfielders, he was excellent at reading the game, breaking up attacks and protecting his defenders. Peter’s club Bethlehem Vengthlang FC will retire his jersey no. 21.”
Bethlehem Vengthlang coach Danny Lalduhawma added, “Peter was a lad with good manner who always maintained his discipline on and off the pitch. I don’t think there are many like him.
