Earlier today, English Premier League player Darren Bent of Sunderland sent a shot deflected off a balloon past Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina in the fifth minute to give Sunderland a 1-0 lead and eventual win by the same score.

Amazingly, you can actually see on the game telecast the boy who punched the balloon (beach ball) onto the field.

(Bartman? Anyone?)

With the result equaling Liverpool’s four-straight loss, I’m assuming he’ll be under armed police guard for the next few weeks.
