Ball boy leaves pitch in tears as West Ham stars’ celebrations go wrong after goal against Crystal Palace

A PREMIER LEAGUE ball boy was left in tears as an advertising board collapsed on him during a goal celebration.

Tomas Soucek was celebrating West Ham's opening goal against Crystal Palace when the incident occurred.

Soucek had gone to celebrate in front of the away end stand when the board fell forwards and on to the ball boy.

But the midfielder put his celebrations on hold to help the ball boy get out from under the board.

Commentator Glenn Murray noted how Soucek had "rushed to his rescue".

Hammers stars Jarrod Bowen and Max Kilman helped lift the boy from under the board before putting an arm around him.

He was then seen being escorted away from the pitch as following the scary ordeal.

Reacting on social media, one fan said: "Hope that ball boy is ok."

A second said: "Ball boy seemed to get caught up as the advertising board fell down in front of the away end for that West Ham goal.

"Jarrod Bowen the first to make sure the young boy was ok - looked a bit shaken up."

Bowen then scored the visitors second goal of the game moments later.
