Though the name might not be instantly recognisable, Nicki Bille Nielsen is a Danish striker with something of a bad-boy reputation in his native land.

Currently plying his trade with Esbjerg FB in the Danish top flight, the 27-year-old has endured something of a nomadic career to date, which may be something to do with the long list of controversies, bans and fines that have cropped up sporadically along the way.

Despite having calmed down in recent years, Nielsen still retains that precocious attitude of his younger days and it surfaced once again during the final minutes of Esbjerg's league tie against Hobro at the weekend.

With his side trailing 2-1 as the game ticked over into the final few seconds of injury time, Nielsen kept a cool head while slamming home a dramatic penalty equaliser, only to lose it swiftly thereafter when he charged over to the fans and chugged himself a beer in celebration!

Bottoms up!
