Valencia forward Simone Zaza continues to add to his list of embarrassing moments after he feigned receiving an elbow by Sevilla’s Franco Vázquez on Saturday.
With Valencia leading 1-0, Zaza scampered after Vázquez and once it had become clear that he would not win the ball back, he tried to headbutt the midfielder’s elbow in an attempt to draw a booking from the referee.

It’s a feeble attempt to draw a foul and his latest gaffe moves next to his missed penalty against Germany as one of the most embarrassing moments of his career.
Valencia won the game 2-0 thanks to two goals from Rodrigo as Los Murciélagos moved just one point behind Real Madrid after winning five of their last six games in La Liga.
