Watch as Zhang Jingyang brutally tackles the wrong player with a two-footed lunge during a Chinese Super League clash between Liaoning Whowin and Shanghai Shenhua.

Liaoning Whowin’s Jingyang had appeared to let attacking midfielder Giovanni Moreno get past him, but the China international was not going to give in that easily and launched into a dangerous two-footed tackle in an attempt to bring the Columbian down.

Unfortunately for Jingyang he manages to clatter into one of his target’s Shanghai Shenhua team-mates and brings the unintended recipient, poor Dai Lin – also capped by the Chinese national team, crashing down onto the pitch on top of him.
