Shortly before half-time, all 5ft 5in of Swansea midfielder Leon Britton took to the air and somehow, someway outleaped the towering Peter Crouch in an aerial duel for the ages.
Crouch stands at 6ft 7in and his battles for high balls are typically rendered no-contests due to his height advantage over literally every centre-half in the Premier League.

Crouchy has remained relatively quiet on the subject of being upset in the mismatch but his silence speaks volumes.

And something tells us that Crouch will struggle to live down the day that he was outjumped by one of the shortest players in the league.
