Russian footballer Dmitri Tarasov uncovers Putin shirt in Turkey match

A Russian footballer insulted Turkish fans by pulling off his shirt to uncover a photo of President Putin after a match in Istanbul.

Lokomotiv Moscow midfielder Dmitri Tarasov's vest demonstrated Mr Putin in a naval force top alongside the words "the most gracious president".

The politically-charged Europa League match was the greatest donning experience between the countries since Turkey shot down a Russian plane in November.

Turkish side Fenerbahce won 2-0.

Lokomotiv Moscow are currently prone to face discipline since European football's representing body Uefa does not permit political articulations amid matches.
