'Cheeky' semicolon

"It should be easy pickings for the keeper, but for some reason Medvedev decides to punch it, and he;s no John Prescott." (BBC sport website.)

Do you, especially the British, agree with me that the semicolon put in "he;s" above is somewhat a 'cheeky' one and placed on purpose there?

No, I'm sure it's just a typo for "he's".
