Pathetic rule that means pitch invader FLATTENED by Aussie soccer superstar Sam Kerr will escape virtually scot-free

The hooligan who invaded the pitch during a top women's soccer match only to be floored by Sam Kerr escaped arrest or any fine due to an outrageous legal loophole.

The Socceroos' superstar received a yellow card for dispatching the young male fan who interrupted Chelsea's Champion's League fixture with Juventus with a textbook hip-and-shoulder bump.

The yobbo, who was trying to get a selfie with players, escaped arrest or the usual big fine because existing rules don't currently apply to women's matches.

The legal loophole highlights a huge deficiency in pitch invasion laws, especially compared to Australia - where the fine is up to $5,500.
