VIDEO: TV presenter hands Man of the Match award to wrong player
A Sky Sports television presenter was left red-faced Sunday when he handed out the Man of the Match award to the wrong player following the 1-1 draw between Manchester United and Chelsea.
Sky Sports reporter Geoff Shreeves asked Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata to deliver the award to his teammate Jesse Lingard. But there was one small problem: Mata was the winner.
OOOPS!!! Geoff Shreeves hands out Man of the Match award...to the wrong player. #SuperSunday #CFC #MUFC https://t.co/WcGLjqq40L
