Taking snaps as the action unfolded during Tottenham's 1-0 win over Hull City, our snapper was clattered into by Andros Townsend after the Spurs winger fell over an advertising hoarding and into the photographer's pit below.
Running at an incredible pace, Townsend's momentum forced him into a full somersault and as he landed his boot clipped the head of the Sportsmail photographer.
