Goalie labelled 'utter disgrace' over ball boy incident

//

Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno appeared to push a ball boy during his team's 3-0 loss at Bournemouth in the Premier League.

Fulham was losing 2-0 at the time of the second-half incident, and Leno had already received a yellow card.

The 31-year-old German later apologised to the ball boy but was still jeered by Bournemouth fans for the rest of the match.

“I don’t know if it was instruction or not, but the ball boys were always delaying," Fulham manager Marco Silva said.

"Bernd wanted to play quickly and he took the ball from the ball boy.

"He didn’t push him, it wasn’t strong enough and he apologised.”

Rival fans began chanting for the referee to card the 'keeper, which would have resulted in him leaving the field whether it was a red or a yellow.

Cameras caught the ball boy smiling after the incident as a security guard appeared to check on him.
