No goalkeeper should ever be nutmegged, especially not by a ball boy.
Rob Green’s night was already not going exactly the plan. The QPR goalkeeper conceded three goals in his side’s draw with Aston Villa on Tuesday, and then this ball boy think’s he can just go and take the p*** out of him.
The lad falls over attempting to collect the ball, and then rather than hand the ball to Green, the way ball boys are supposed to, he cheekily rolls the ball through the goalkeeper’s legs. Green seems bemused by the whole thing.
Green isn’t the first footballer to get involved with a ball boy. In 2013, Eden Hazard infamously attempted to kick the ball from underneath a Swansea ball boy, who was trying to cover it.

While Jose Mourinho had some words of warning for a Crystal Palace ball boy last season.
‘I told him not to do that [attempt to waste time] because he runs the risk of one of my players to punch him or to lose his temper’.
Probably best just give the ball back lads.
