Blame the Intern! TV Show Uses Wrong Pictures of Dimitri Payet and Roberto Firmino

We've all been there -someone makes a mistake and whilst the outcome lookshilarious, it's also pretty embarrassing


Australian TV channel Optus Sport will know exactly what that feels like after one of their employeesmade an almighty mess of the confirmed lineups for Liverpool's Premier League clash with West Ham last Sunday.

In other news, the Premier League thinks Roberto Firmino is Ibrahimovic.

Having managed to use the correct graphic for 10 of Liverpool's player, sadly the perfect record was ruined when forward, Roberto Firmino looked suspiciouslylike a striker from the Reds' bitter rivals, Manchester United.


Yes, the head of Zlatan Ibrahimovic bizarrelyappeared above Firmino's name and it looked a whole lot funnier when a bigger graphic of Liverpool's front three was broadcast.

Of course, a perfectly reasonable explanation could be that the culprit is a big admirer of the Swede, but that theory went out the window when West Ham's lineup also featured a quirky looking Dimitri Payet...

You had one job

Knowing Harry Kane's record with free-kicks, it's probably for the best that Payet lined up instead of him and took the set piece that levelledthe scores at 1-1.


Safe to say the Optus Sportemployee who got the photos so catastrophicallywrong, will have gone to bed last night with "sacked in the morning" ringing in his ears.


Let's just hope their boss saw the funny side.
