Fans shared their reactions after 17-year-old YouTube star Darren "IShowSpeed" got himself embarrassed after getting outplayed by professional disabled footballer Reece.

Reece, who lost his right leg as a child, has not let his handicapped condition get in the way of his profession. While streaming, the Englishman revealed that he presently represents Everton and has also played for England internationally.

However, Reece's most well-known accolade appears to have come yesterday after outplaying and outsmarting Speed while playing football in London. Regardless of his disadvantages, Reece made a mockery of the American streamer.

IShowSpeed gets baited by a differently-abled player, fans react

IShowSpeed, presently in London, was seen in a football turf-for-hire arena. Hundreds of fans greeted him, among them was Reece, who is a differently-abled footballer. Despite playing with a couple of crutches, the Englishman did not lack any skills when it came to playing football.

In one footage, Speed was seen getting baited during a penalty kick. IShowSpeed, who was the acting goalkeeper, dived to his right as Reece made a fake shot with his missing right leg. Looking at the empty net, the Englishman rolled the ball with his left leg.

IShowSpeed was left embarrassed as he exclaimed:

"Am I f**king stupid! What the f**k! Only one (leg)"

To make matters worse, when it was Speed's turn to take the penalty kick, the shot was comfortably saved after Reece parried it away with his head.
