Everton ballboy pranks millions of TV viewers during 5-2 loss against Arsenal at Goodison Park
The cheeky lad decided to play 'the circle game' during the Premier League clash - and he will have caught out plenty
EVERTON entertained Arsenal yesterday at Goodison Park - but one ballboy decided he wanted to be the TV star.
As Gunners star Alexis Sanchez took a corner, the cheeky lad took his moment to shine.
He decided to play "the circle game" which will be familiar with millions of people around the world.
Usually known as a childhood prank, one person makes an "OK" sign below their waist, and tries to get others to "look at it".
If the sign is spotted, the guilty looker can expect to receive a punch to the arm or shoulder.
So that essentially means the boy can expect to hand out hundreds of thousands, if not millions of digs, to everyone who spotted his big performance.
WHAT IS 'THE CIRCLE GAME'?
Many will be familiar with 'the circle game' that is often regarded as a high-school prank.
The aim of the game is to make your friends look at your hand as it makes a circle, or upside-down 'ok'.
The only rules is the sign must be made below the waist and you can't thrust it into someone's face.
If you manage to get someone to glance at the circle, you 'win', and can then punch the unlucky person on the arm or shoulder.
He will have been delighted when Wayne Rooney scored a worldie after just 10 minutes, but less so when Arsenal fought back to take a lead.

Aaron Ramsay then netted to make it 4-1, before Oumar Niasse pulled one back for the Toffees for 4-2.
But Arsenal weren't done there, and Alexis Sanchez wrapped up a 5-2 win for the Londoners late on.

The lad may just about have outdone Watford's Troy Deeney in the cheeky department.
The 29-year-old got to grips with a pitch invade at Watford's 4-2 loss to Chelsea by grabbing his bum.
Deeney – who questioned Arsenal’s balls last week – got a handful of rump at Stamford Bridge.
And it may have helped him forget about his side's unlucky 4-2 defeat to Antonio Conte's side, they at one point lead 2-1.
