Paul Nyathi|Striker Thamsanqa Gabuza hit back at Orlando Pirates fans in a bizarre goal celebration after forcing an own goal in which gave his team the lead in their PSL match against Black Leopards on Tuesday night.

After missing several goalscoring opportunities in the first half, Gabuza forced

The lanky marksman whipped a low cross into the Leopards box which was turned home by Thivhavhudzi Ndou in the 35th minute.

He then went straight to a section of Pirates fans on the near side, took off his shirt before throwing it in the stands.

Gabuza then immediately left the pitch and went straight to the dressing rooms after a heated confrontation with coach Milutin Sredojevic on the side of the pitch.

His teammates also tried to calm him but the former Golden Arrows man heard none of it as he left the pitch at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.

This was clearly a sign of frustration on the part of Gabuza, who has been given a difficult time by the club supporters over the past five seasons.

His failure to score on a regular basis for the Buccaneers hasnt helped his cause as the fans continue to boo him whenever he misses a chances.

Gabuza returned to the pitch at the start of the second half, but he was immediately sent off for his behaviour, leaving Pirates to finish the game with 10 men.

He received a yellow card for taking his shirt off and another for leaving the pitch without permission.

Not so long ago, Gabuza took the fight to the fans at the Princess Magogo Stadium when he scored against Golden Arrows.
