Watch: Soccer player who crashed while driving drunk does drunk-driving goal celebration image

The goal is to learn from mistakes, not mistake goals for having learned, and Czech soccer player David Limbersky clearly has the two confused (via For The Win).

Limbersky, who was fined after crashing his Bentley while driving drunk and subsequently removed as captain of his Czech First League team, apparently still doesn't see a DUI crash as serious business. (Maybe a potential three-year prison sentence will get the message across.)

Viktoria Plzen reinstated Limbersky three days after his crash, and the left back scored twice against Pribram. Amazingly, after the first, he celebrated by, yes, appearing to mimic steering a car after overindulging.
