Twitter went crazy over Milad Mohammadi’s failed somersault throw-in during Iran’s World Cup defeat to Spain
The full-back attempted the bizarre move in the last minute of stoppage-time as Iran desperately looked for an equaliser
Picture the scene. Your team is going toe-to-toe with one of the World Cup favourites and you have one chance to snatch a point against Spain in the final minute of stoppage-time.
Everyone is up and you need your man taking the throw-in to launch the ball into the box like never before, only for him to try a ridiculous somersault.
Well this really did happen during the final moments of Iran's 1-0 defeat to Spain in their tight Group B clash.
Diego Costa's fortunate goal was the decisive moment but the Iranians pushed Fernando Hierro's men all the way and even had a goal disallowed via a VAR review but they made a real hash of their final moments.
Milad Mohammadi was the guilty party with the ridiculous show-boating which firmly left him with egg on his face as Iran were unable to fashion one final opportunity to earn a priceless point.
