On the evening of August 24th at 10 PM, Crystal Palace lost 0-2 to West Ham United in the second round of the Premier League.
In the 67th minute of the match, Souček scored a goal to give West Ham United a 1-0 lead. As Souček ran to the sideline to celebrate, the pressure from West Ham United fans caused the LED board on the sideline to collapse, crushing a ball boy on the field. At this time, Souček decisively abandoned his celebration and immediately went to the rescue of the ball boy, and then comforted the boy who was crying in fright.
Fans on social media quickly praised Souček’s actions. Someone wrote on Twitter: “Souček is an absolute hero, he saved that ball boy from being crushed.” Another wrote: “Tomas Souček. Goalscorer, Hero!”
After the game, Bowen, another goalscorer, gave his jersey to the ball boy. At the same time, Bowen commented on the incident of him and Souček helping the ball boy: “I just tried to get him out as quickly as possible, it was just instinct. He’s all good, which is great.”
