Manchester City struggled to a 2-2 draw against 19th-place Queens Park Rangers in English Premier League soccer action on Saturday. For Man City, it was another lackluster result in a frustrating season so far. For QPR, it was a triumphant draw against one of the Premier League's most talented and monied clubs.
But enough of that. Let's get to what's really important here: The game's most Internet-worthy moment came in the 27th minute when Man City star Yaya Touré uncorked a powerful left-footed shot on goal, missed the net completely and absolutely drilled a small child right in the face. Fear not, however -- the little girl is fine. She even came away with a pair of autographed jerseys for her pain.

Here's Touré's botched shot that sailed into the stands and appeared to knock the little girl's head off her shoulders.
It's dangerous out there for a pint-sized sports fan!
According to home team QPR, though, the girl was not seriously hurt.
We've just spoken to the young girl who was hit by @YayaToure shot - she's fine & will enjoy these shirts! #QPRvMNC pic.twitter.com/qzjoLQeUWu— QPR FC (@QPRFC) November 8, 2014
Two signed jerseys, Internet immortality and no actual injuries for one shot to the face? All's well that end's well, it seems.
