A professional footballer should know how to take a throw-in, but Christian Pulisic didn't against Everton today.
The Chelsea winger took a foul throw-in late in the 3-1 defeat at Goodison Park and it was so bad that referee Craig Pawson not only correctly gave a throw-in to Everton, he also said it was the worst he had ever seen.
Footage of the hilarious moment begun circulating on social media straight away.
There was a bit of Mike Dean in Pawson's mannerisms and you can't blame him. It was an absolute shocker from Pulisic.

Granted he was in a rush but his technique of throwing the ball to Kovacic was anything but legal.
Pulisic and Chelsea were well below par in the Premier League's lunchtime kick-off, with Frank Lampard's side suffering a second successive defeat this week thanks to some poor individual errors.

Everton went 1-0 up early on through Richarlison's header and extended their lead in the second half through Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
The Toffees No.9 then sealed the victory with a second strike ten minutes from time after some slack defending from Chelsea, following on from Mateo Kovacic's consolation goal.
