Sometimes one event can sum up an entire game - a brilliant goal, a missed penalty, a crunching tackle. Memorable moments that fans remember for years to come.

At Burnley versus Stoke City in the Premier League, the game was instead summed up by away midfielder Charlie Adam's laughable attempts to take a corner.

During a dire game, scoreless in the 49th minute, Adam looked to swing in a set piece.

In the 49th minute of Stoke City's trip to Burnley, Charlie Adam looked to swing a corner in

However the midfielder stumbled as he was about to take the set piece he had won

Adam managed to fall into the ball, knocking it forward with his knee into his arm

As a result, Burnley were awarded a free kick, leaving Adam red faced by his clumsiness

So bad was the blooper that Stoke's Twitter feed admitted it was 'one for the Christmas DVD'

Instead, he managed to trip over, accidentally knock the ball forward and touch it with his hand, thus giving away a free kick to the home side.

So bad was it, that even the club's official Twitter feed admitted it was 'one for the Christmas DVD'. Presumably the blooper reel, rather than the highlights.

It got worse for Adam and co on the night, as they lost 1-0 at Turf Moor to George Boyd's winner.

This sums the game up. At Burnley. Charlie Adam has just attempted to take a corner, tripped over and handled the ball. Brilliant. — Dominic King (@DominicKing_DM) April 4, 2017
