Chelsea FC came to the Turf Moor and battled Burnley to a 1-1 draw yesterday, but there was one winner- this guy.
A Burnley supporter sitting behind with the goal with his infant child, was a hero among men. This was an extremely dangerous place to bring a toddler, but this gentleman handled the situation with grace and aplomb. He did what he had to do. Have a watch below:

Burnley forward Leighton Baines blasted this wayward shot, and it was “HEADS UP!” “LOOK ALIVE!” time for the crowd in attendance. Luckily, this Burnley fan was alert and on point, preventing disaster and placing his name his into the running for 2017 Father of the Year.
Burnley fans be proud, this stand-up guy is going viral on the internet and presenting a great image of the club’s supporters.
