#2 Zinchenko knocks down the Premier League trophy during celebrations

There's nothing funny about celebrating, except when it's too early. But, in this case, something rather unique, and quite hilarious occurred. Zinchenko, the promising Manchester City youngster, made it into headlines for other reasons that his talent; for a different way of marking the Sky Blues's title win.

There was the pouring of champagne, celebrating with fans, jumping up and down in happiness, but there was also so much more. As they were celebrating with confetti, something not so usual occurred. I think it's best described as Zinchenko's biggest 'Oops!' moment in his career.

We're sure that increased his adrenaline, if there was ever a need to. What an unusual hiccup to have in a moment which is (normally) supposed to bring joy.

We've got a slow-motion video of all the Manchester City player's reaction while the drama unfolded, see it for yourself below.
