United States striker Jozy Altidore has apologized for head butting
an opponent while playing for Hull in the English Premier League.
Altidore was ejected in the 50th minute Saturday for a clash
with Sunderland defender Alan Hutton, who had thrown the ball at
him.
Altidore was suspended for Hull's last two games of the
season.
He wrote Sunday on Twitter that he "made a stupid, immature
and costly mistake," adding that "I let my emotions get the best of
me and lost my composure."
His loan from Villarreal expires at the end of the season.
Altidore says that "playing for Hull was to date the best
trip I've ever been on."
Hull lost 1-0 to Sunderland and is a long shot to avoid
relegation.
