It was all going so swimmingly for Reece James, but then he tried to rattle a pass into midfield midway through the second half.
He may find himself replaying the moment in his mind a few times over the next few days.
His attempted pass ricochetted of Ayoze Perez, into the path of Youri Tielemens and then - well - destiny kicked in.
James didn’t deserve the fate that befell him; playing in an unfamiliar role at right-sided centre back the 21-year-old was excellent.
He’ll come back from this, there’s no doubt about that.
