Emilio Nsue rainbow flick: Middlesbrough player mocked by own fans after trick fail during win over Fulham
At least his team won
His team are on course for promotion to the Premier League and were cruising 2-0 against Fulham, so perhaps Emilio Nsue could be forgiven for thinking it was the perfect moment to show off his skills.
Only the Middlesbrough full-back will be wishing he hadn't bothered.
Nsue tried a rainbow flick following a short corner, the sort of trick usually attempted by the likes of world class talent such as Neymar rather than a free agent from Mallorca.
And here's why...
The attempt was so bad that even the Middlesbrough fans, who were behind the goal at Craven Cottage, couldn't stop themselves from laughing at the failure.
At least his embarrassment was tempered with a Middlesbrough win that sees the club sitting just one point from the summit of the Championship table.
