Seattle Sounders forward Chad Barrett scored a goal just 53 seconds into Sunday's match against the L.A. Galaxy, but had to be pulled immediately afterwards...because he pulled a hamstring during the goal celebration.
Not completely clear from the video how Barrett tweaked his hammy, but he went down to the ground in pain and was unable to continue playing. This was a bad sign for the Sounders, who were already without Clint Dempsey and ended up losing the game 3-1.
We hope Barrett was OK, and we're glad he didn't injure himself doing something silly during the goal celebration, like this guy tearing his knee with a backflip.
