The hooligan who invaded the pitch during a top women's soccer match only to be floored by Sam Kerr escaped arrest or any fine due to an outrageous legal loophole.
The Socceroos' superstar received a yellow card for dispatching the young male fan who interrupted Chelsea's Champion's League fixture with Juventus with a textbook hip-and-shoulder bump.
The yobbo, who was trying to get a selfie with players, escaped arrest or the usual big fine because existing rules don't currently apply to women's matches.
The legal loophole highlights a huge deficiency in pitch invasion laws, especially compared to Australia - where the fine is up to $5,500.

Holding a mobile phone, he attempted to get a picture with Chelsea captain Magdalena Eriksson as stewards slowly tried to catch up with him.
But a frustrated Kerr took matters into her own hands as she shoulder-barged the unsuspecting intruder to the ground.
The Australian was cheered by the Chelsea supporters but was booked by referee Sara Persson.
