OCT 21, 2016 LISTEN

Crystal Palace ball boy, Kwadwo Baah has earned world wide reconition, after he stepped on the field to put the ball on the edge of West Ham's six yard box to ensure the away side didn't waste much time.

Baah ran onto the pitch and conveniently placed the ball on the edge of Adrian's six-yard box after the Hammer's goalkeeper showed little interest in collecting the ball from behind the goal, delaying yet another free kick as Palace trailed 0-1

Palace were forced to give Baah a stern word as technically, he broke the Premier League's rules when 'entering the field of play'.

In an interview with Crystal Palace TV, Kwadwo said: 'I saw the players getting really angry that the keeper was taking really long.

Baah's antics went down well with the Selhurst Park faithful who cheered when the youngster lost patience with Adrian's time wasting tactics.

The Hammers beat Alan Pardew's side to climb out of the relegation zone as Christian Benteke missed a penalty for the hosts.

But the East London outfit were reduced to 10 men for the last 15 minutes of the game as Aaron Cresswell picked up two bookings within just 51 seconds of each other.
