The latter won the match 1-0 thanks to a 72nd minute goal from Robin Gosens.

But team-mate Dodo was left red-faced after his shorts slipped down during the match.

The Brazilian right-back was battling for the ball when the incident occurred.

Dodo joined Fiorentina two summers ago after starring for Shakhtar Donetsk.

Dodo has been linked several times with a move to England too.

He was once thought to be a target for Wolves.

While Dodo has also been tipped to join Newcastle in the past.
