#9 Darren Bent and the Beach Ball
We all know the story, but we can always hear it again and again. In a match between Sunderland and Liverpool in 2009, a beach ball found its way onto the playing field and decided to stop right inside the penalty area, a few feet from Pepe Reina.
The ball’s sinister position soon became apparent when a Darren Bent shot hit the beach ball and the ball went in without any trouble, as Reina was distracted by the huge red beach ball. Sunderland were awarded the goal, and to add insult to injury, it was later found out that a young Liverpool fan was the culprit behind the beach ball being thrown onto the pitch.
