Raging Kyle Walker boots advertising hoardings in fury as fans call him ‘secret agent’ after blunder against Sheff Utd
KYLE WALKER showed his anger as he kicked out at an advertising board after his blunder saw Sheffield United equalise against Manchester City.
City ran out 2-1 winners at Bramall Lane but had to do it the hard way as the Blades put on a resilient display.
Erling Haaland gave City the lead with a powerful header in the second half which saw him jumped on by a fan, making up for his penalty miss in the first half.
City went close to netting a second but Haaland was ruled offside after netting and Julian Alvarez could not beat Wes Foderingham from a free-kick.
As a result in the closing stages, the Blades sensed that they could get something from the game.
And former Blades player Walker‘s error allowed them the perfect opportunity.
Walker tried to backheel the ball but instead gave it away and then slipped over off of the pitch.
He could only lie and watch as the hosts played the ball around before Jayden Bogle eventually fired home.
As Walker saw his error be punished he lashed out at the advertising board behind him as he booted it.
And fans could not help but find the moment funny as he helped out his old team as they took to social media.

One Tweeted: “Kyle Walker having a temper tantrum because he just caused an 87th-minute equaliser.”
A second commented: “Kyle Walker wants his boyhood club to stay up, fair enough I respect it.”
A third wrote: “Nice touch from agent Walker.”
A fourth said: “Agent Kyle Walker! .”
A fifth added: “Kyle Walker = Secret Agent.”
While another joked: “Not much of a secret agent but that’s some work for the Blades from Kyle Walker.”
The defender made amends for his gaffe three minutes later as he regained possession and crossed the ball into Phil Foden.
The Englishman was unable to control the ball but it fell for Rodri to fire home and give City all three points.
Walker was in the youth academy at Sheffield United before leaving in 2009 after sealing a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
