DTotD: Shakhtar's Luiz Adriano knocked out by clothesline to the chin

Shakhtar Donetsk's Luiz Adriano was knocked unconscious by a clothesline to the chin from Illychivets defender Oleksandr Chyzhov during a Ukrainian Premier League match on Friday. The blow occurred just before halftime and was Chyzhov's attempt to stop Adriano from getting around him on a counter attack.

Adriano had to be taken off on a stretcher and Chyzhov was only shown a yellow card for the brutal offense. Shakhtar went on to win 3-0.

In related news: The WWE has put in a sizable bid for Oleksandr Chyzhov.
