Dusan Tadic has tantrum and tries to rip ball out of Southampton team-mate Charlie Austin’s hands for penalty

SOUTHAMPTON colleagues Charlie Austin and Dusan Tadic had an embarrassing confrontation on the pitch after just ten minutes of their Europa League clash with Sparta Prague.

The Saints have had a difficult season so far and this was their first game in the group stages of the Europa League for years - but Claude Puel's side were awarded a soft early penalty for handball.

Tadic had the ball in his hands, but Austin, who has not played a lot of football since arriving at St Mary's but won the penalty with his cross being handled by a Sparta defender, walked up and ripped it from the Serb's hands.

Austin's Saints teammates all seemed to be happy to let him take and Tadic eventually admitted defeat after being hauled away by Virgil van Dijk.

He walked away fuming as the fans cringed in embarrassment after such a petty argument between teammates.
