Watch Molde star Sheriff Sinyan ‘do a Phil Babb’ after missing sitter leaving Arsenal fans with their eyes watering
MOLDE star Sheriff Sinyan missed the sitter of the century against Arsenal – then injured his privates as he crashed into the goalpost.
The Gambian star fluffed his team’s best chance to break the deadlock during the Europa League showdown in Norway.
He's done really well to miss from here

The ball fell into the path of Sinyan at the back post in the 15th minute of the match.
With Alex Runarsson stranded at the near post, Sinyan had an open goal in front of him.
But the 24-year-old failed to connect with his shot and fired it straight at the Gunners keeper.
To make matters worse, Sinyan then did his best impression of Phil Babb as he slid into the post with his legs spread.
Babb famously did the same thing during Liverpool’s game against Chelsea on October 4, 1998.
The Molde star appeared to be in agony as he clutched his privates before he climbed back to his feet.
After the incident, one fan said: “I’ll give Sinyan’s reenactment of Phil Babb vs Chelsea a solid seven.”
Another said: “To add to his embarassment, Sinyan did a Phil Babb into the post.”
One Twitter user said: “That was pretty much the worst he could have done from there.”
Sinyan’s miss was by far the best chance of the first half.
The score was locked at 0-0 after 45 minutes, but Arsenal ran riot after the break as they coasted to a 3-0 win.
Nicolas Pepe scored in the 50th minute before Reiss Nelson doubled their tally five minutes later and highly-rated Folarin Balogun added a third with his first touch in the last ten minutes.
