Lumana Tresor Lua Lua has won the coveted Soccer-Weblog Mistake Of The Week for injuring himself while indulging in his trademark celebration. The tricky forward, in great form for resurgent Portsmouth recently, scored Pompey's equaliser against Arsenal but had to be substituted after landing awkwardly on his ankle.

"Lua Lua went off and did his treble back somersault with pike and twisted his ankle. It wasn't the cleverest thing he's ever done." said Lua Lua's manager Harry Redknapp. "But no danger, he will be fit for the weekend."

With Portsmouth in such a precarious position, and Lua Lua so vital to their survival, should Lua Lua hold off on the (admittedly impressive) celebration for a while?
