'That was a Maradona-esque handball!': Fans react to Cedric Kipre's HILARIOUS attempted header against Swansea... after the Cardiff defender blatantly hit the ball with his hand but referee Darren Bond doesn't see it!

According to fans online, Cardiff's Cedric Kipre pulled off the 'most blatant handball ever missed by a referee' in their derby match with Swansea.

During the South Wales derby, the French defender leaped into the air - as if to head the ball - but instead held his arm out and blatantly knocked it away with his hand.

Referee Darren Moore missed the incident, meaning Kipre went unpunished for the hilarious error, and now fans have taken to social media to poke fun at the 'Maradona-esque' moment.
