As it rose in the air, a seagull – the definition of a flying winger – swept across the pitch and collided with the ball.

Fortunately for Grimsby, it deflected the ball perfectly into the path of one of their players who controlled it before clipping a pass further forward.

The moment went viral on social media with many reacting to the bizarre incident.

One said: “What a pass by this seagull .”

Another added: “Great flick on to be fair to the lad.”

A third replied: “Chelsea have just bid £5million.”

While a fourth responded: “The seagull has been more influential than Man Utd‘s midfield.”

And a fifth joked: “Can he do it on a cold Tuesday night in Stoke though?”
