No finer judge than Alex Ferguson once claimed that "Charlie Adam's corner kicks are worth £10m."

Just as well Sir Alex wasn't at Turf Moor last night.

Stoke City's Adam managed the improbable feat of taking a 49th minute corner - and giving away a free-kick, for handball!

The comedy moment, shared thousands of times on social media, summed up a poor match which ended 1-0 to the home side.

So bad was ithe moment that even Stoke City's official Twitter feed admitted that the incident was "one for the Christmas DVD."

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

Adam spent one season at Liverpool following a £6.75m move from Blackpool.

In only his fourth match he scored a goal and created another for Martin Skrtel - from a corner kick delivery.
