Video: Young girl hit in the face by Yaya Toure's missed shot

Yaya Toure’s missed shot almost knocked out a little girl in the crowd

During Manchester city’s 2--2 draw against QPR, Yaya Toure took a number of shots on goal, one of which injured a young fan in the crowd.

Loftus Road is a small ground where the fans behind goal are very close to the action and must be alert when players take long range shots on goal.

In the first half, Toure took a curling shot with his left foot that missed the goal by inches but went on to hit a young girl straight in the face.

She never saw it coming and put both her hands up in the air after the hit, stunned after the impact as other fans moved out of the way.

However, the little girl named Chloe was alright and did not suffer any serious injury.

QPR and Toure also made it up to her by giving her two shirts signed by the squad and Toure himself.

We've just spoken to the young girl who was hit by @YayaToure shot - she's fine & will enjoy these shirts! #QPRvMNC pic.twitter.com/qzjoLQeUWu

A relieved Toure also took to Twitter to apologize to the little girl.

Just spoke to the lovely Chloe and her dad on the phone. So glad she is ok.
