So, remember that guy a few years back? More specifically, that Newcastle fan? Who thought he was harder than a horse? Well, we've found another one, lads. Only this time he's from the south coast.

In the aftermath of Portsmouth's feisty Carabao Cup defeat to Southampton – the first time the local rivals have played each other since 2012 – a man, believed to be a Pompey fan, was seen engaging in equestrian combat as fans started to stirrup trouble after the mane event.

The incident was captured on film, and quickly circulated around social media, as this as of yet unidentified man became known as the Portsmouth horse puncher.
