FOOTBALL fans witnessed a contender for the worst corner ever in the League Two clash between Crawley Town and Sutton United on Boxing Day.
And an ironic shout from the Sutton goalkeeper left supporters in stitches.
With the game delicately poised at 0-0 in the 56th minute, a corner was sent in the direction of the Sutton box.
However, the ball failed to make it anywhere close to the goal.
Instead it somehow sailed to near enough the halfway line.
From there it was played back to Crawley goalkeeper Ellery Balcombe, who hammered the ball straight off the pitch.

While the corner delivery itself raised eyebrows, a shout believed to be from Sutton goalie Jack Rose had fans in hysterics.
A huge cry of “Away” could be heard from the box, with Rose motioning for his defenders to push up.
The ironic bellow came despite the fact that the ball never went anywhere near the box.
And League Two fans were left in stitches by both the corner itself, and the ironic shout.
