West Ham players save ball boy after supporters fall from stands while cheering.

During Saturday's Premier League match, a harrowing scene unfolded as an advertising board holding back West Ham United fans collapsed, causing chaos and concern. As the game continued, Tomas Soucek of West Ham scored the first goal of the second half, followed by a goal from Jarrod Bowen just five minutes later. The players rushed over to their supporters in celebration, but little did they know that the fans in the away end would soon be in danger.

As the advertising boards in front of the away fans gave way, they fell forward, spilling over onto the pitch and leaving one Crystal Palace ball boy trapped beneath the falling board. It was a terrifying moment for everyone involved, but luckily, Soucek, with his quick reflexes, spotted the danger and immediately sprang into action. He lifted the heavy board to help the young boy escape and make his way to safety.

But Soucek wasn't the only one lending a helping hand. Jarrod Bowen was also there, assisting the youngster in crawling out from under the board. It was a heartwarming display of teamwork and camaraderie, despite the fierce competition between the two teams on the pitch. The medical staff quickly attended to the shaken but thankfully unharmed ball boy, who was led away from the scene.

The incident caught the attention of the media and fans alike, with many taking to social media to praise Soucek for his quick thinking and heroic actions. West Ham fan site KUMB wrote about the incident, commending Soucek for his awareness and compassion towards the ball boy. Another fan, @resecting1243, echoed the sentiment, calling Soucek a "class act" for helping the young boy out of harm's way.

Thankfully, it seems that no other supporters were injured in the incident, and the game was able to continue without further incident. It was a scary moment, but it also showed the true spirit of sportsmanship and unity between players and fans. We can all be grateful for the quick actions of Soucek and Bowen, who helped turn a potentially dangerous situation into a heartwarming display of humanity.
