Watch Ghanaian ball boy stop West Ham from delaying against Crystal Palace

Kwadwo Baah has shot to fame, despite breaking technical rules in Crystal Palace's 0-1 defeat against West Ham United last weekend.

Baah ran onto the pitch and conveniently placed the ball on the edge of Adrian’s six-yard box after the Hammer’s goalkeeper showed little interest in collecting the ball from behind the goal, delaying yet another free kick as Palace trailed 0-1

Palace were forced to give Baah a stern word as technically, he broke the Premier League’s rules when ‘entering the field of play’.

In an interview with Crystal Palace TV, Kwadwo said: “I saw the players getting really angry that the keeper was taking really long.

Baah’s antics went down well with the Selhurst Park faithful who cheered when the youngster lost patience with Adrian’s time wasting tactics.

The Hammers beat Alan Pardew’s side to climb out of the relegation zone as Christian Benteke missed a penalty for the hosts.

But the East London outfit were reduced to 10 men for the last 15 minutes of the game as Aaron Cresswell picked up two bookings within just 51 seconds of each other.
