Francis Kone, you sir are a legend!

Kone is being hailed as a hero for coming to the rescue. A league meeting over in Czech Republic between Bohemians 1905 and Slovacko produced a brilliant display of heroism.

The game ended in a draw but the main take away was a horrific clash involving Bohemians's Martin Berkovec, his defender as well as Kone.

In the 29th minute, a long ball was played into their box as both the keeper and the defender going for the ball until they collided.


Immediately, Berkovec went limp and appeared to be unconscious. Prompting Kone to attend to him.

According to reports, he swallowed his tongue with Kone quick to react to the situation by pulling the tongue out.

Following the game, the 28-year-old took to social media to thank the striker for rescuing him on the pitch;

"I would like to thank Francis Kone for rescue and emergency at today's game... I'm glad for the relief and thanks again!!!"

For precautionary measures, he spent the night in a hospital, undergoing scans though is expected to return to the field of play, soon.

Well done, Francis!
