Video: Reporter put through ordeal by ecstatic Spartak Moscow players after final win

  • 18/05/2017

A Russia television reporter is tonight facing a mammoth dry cleaning bill after foolishly attempting to interrupt the celebrations of Spartak Moscow's Russian title-winning side.

15 minutes earlier, the full-time whistle had blown at the Otkrytiye Arena.

Spartak had beaten Terek Grozny 3-0 in their first home game since ending a 16-year drought and securing the Russian Premier League title.

Scenes of jubilation as spectators flooded the pitch to celebrate with their heroes.

And once inside the inner sanctum of the stadium, those players continued to party.

So when a Russian television reporter tried to inject some sanity into proceedings and do what journalists do, there was only ever going to be one outcome.

Unfortunately for this gentleman, the torture was more protracted than might normally be expected.
