A collapsed hoarding at Selhurst Park after players and @WestHam fans celebrated their first goal. A ball boy was led away / hopefully he’s okay.

West Ham score and the away fans just fall through the holdings at the front and land on top of the ball boy. Luckily he seems to be okay. Fair play to Soucek and the other West Ham players who checked up on him. pic.twitter.com/lazIZx2Jj3

West Ham players checked on the youngster before he was led away by stadium security and thankfully he appears to be OK.
