Burnley Fan Gets Ball Smacked In Her Face, Doesn't Even Flinch

Burnley Fan Gets Ball Smacked In Her Face, Doesn't Even Flinch

She took it like a champ...

Burnley progressed to the Europa play-offs courtesy of an extra time win over Istanbul Basaksehir last night but that wasn't the biggest achievement of the night.

No, that has to go a fan in the crowd who got leathered by the ball in the warm-up. Footage of the incident has gone viral, with the clip from @BurnleyTurf garnering over 1,000 likes and retweets.

In just seven seconds, we see the woman get struck square in the face with a wayward shot from a Burnley player and it looks incredibly painful.

Yet, somehow she takes it like an absolute champ and doesn't even flinch. For anyone into their wrestling, it was the biggest no-sell you've ever seen in your life.

Fair play to her. Only last year, another Clarets supporter went viral after they saved a toddler from being hit by the ball in the game against Chelsea at Turf Moor.

The strike from Ashley Barnes was about to hit him in the face but the heroic fella was alert to the danger and batted it away.
