Did Carroll's wondergoal give the West Ham striker whiplash?

The former Liverpool man's stunning bicycle kick against Crystal Palace may be responsible for him suffering a freak injury

Slaven Bilic has confirmed Andy Carroll sustained whiplash during West Ham's 3-0 win against Crystal Palace, the game in which he scored with an incredible scissor kick.

Carroll's stunning volley, a goal of the season contender, wrapped up the points for West Ham, but the striker is a doubt for Saturday's trip to Middlesbrough as a result of his injury.

Bilic is hoping Carroll, who has scored three goals in the 2016-17 campaign, will recover in time to play at the Riverside Stadium.
