Fan stops a ball from smacking into child's face

There's so much ugliness in sports that it's nice to take a moment just to appreciate when something heartwarming happened.

Such a moment came during Chelsea's Premier League match against Burnley on Sunday.

After a wayward shot from the visiting side was heading into the stands, straight into an unsuspecting child's face, this hero jumped in to punch the ball away.

Give this man a medal.
