Tearful Tamir Cohen broke down after scoring Bolton’s dramatic late winner – and dedicated the goal to his father.
The Israeli midfielder, who lost dad Avi after a motorbike accident in December, kissed a T-shirt of the Liverpool legend after he scored.
“It was a very emotional moment for me,” he said.
But the 27-year-old was booked by apologetic-looking ref Mike Jones for removing his top to reveal the T-shirt.
Boss Owen Coyle, who met Avi when he visited his son shortly before his death, said: “Refs are charged with a set of rules that don’t understand the emotion of the moment.”
