A dizzying scene emerged in the hot match. Shortly after Soucek's goal, West Ham players were running to the away fans' seats for the goal ceremony when the away fans fell forward, and the billboard fell over the head of the Crystal Palace ball boy watching the game in front of supporters. West Ham striker Soucek was seen quickly detecting the danger and lifting the billboard to save the ball boy. Bowen also helped the ball boy get out to safety, then wrapped his trembling shoulder in surprise and consoled him and checked his condition himself to see if he was hurt.
Sky Sports News reported 'The ball boy was transported by medics and was not injured. While no supporters are known to have been injured in the accident, Soucek and Bowen's quick rescue story is receiving enthusiastic praise from fans on social media.
West Ham fan site KUMB said the billboard fell on the new ballboy as West Ham celebrated the goal and Soucek, who found this danger, dealt with it quickly. Praise to Soucek,' he wrote. One fan captioned the line 'Suchek's dignified act of helping Palace Ballboy out of the billboard.
After the game, Bowen also delivered a heartwarming story about the ball boy. Bowen met the boy again after the game and presented him with a uniform he wore during the game. Bowen told BBC Radio 5 that he watched the ball boy after the game. It was nice to see you smiling in my uniform top"I had to catch him as soon as possible and drag him out of the billboard. It was an instinctive act. Everyone had no choice but to do so, of course."
