The fall guy: Watch Armenia star Ozbiliz take probably the worst corner of all time



When taking a corner, the golden rule is: beat the first man. Oh, and don't kick the flag, fall over and flail around before handling the ball.



Armenia midfielder Aras Ozbiliz seemed to be in a rush to take a set-piece in the World Cup qualifier against Denmark on Tuesday night and that proved to be his downfall.

The Spartak Moscow star put the ball down, which considering what happened next, was a remarkably competent start.

Looking to take a quick one: Aras Ozbiliz puts the ball down and is keen to get on with it

Failure: But he kicks the flag first and then connects with the ball

On his way down: Ozbiliz stumbles and starts to lose his balance

Falling down: The Armenia midfielder loses his footing and it all looks a bit undignified

On his knees: Ozbiliz looks sheepish as the assistant flags for handball

Floored: The player lies on the ground, his embarrassment complete

Flagging: Ozbiliz (right) kept on going despite the embarrassment of his corner-kick attempt

Drowning her sorrows: Armenia's defeat (and that corner) will have disappointed celebrity fan Kim Kardashian

It soon unravelled, though, as he connected with the corner flag before kicking the ball a matter of yards, falling over and grabbing the ball, Ivan Campo-style.

And, to put the tin lid on it, he was quite correctly penalised for handball.
