Villa Park Linesman Shows off Impressive Pace During Pitch Invasion

Someone sign this linesman up to a pace-lacking side as soon as possible. 

Aston Villa knocked West Brom out of the FA Cup on Saturday at Villa Park, and the fans at Villa Park were very anxious to celebrate reaching a Wembley semi-final in the Cup. 

As fans stormed the pitch, fan footage caught a Villa Park linesman booking it to avoid being caught in the middle of the fan mayhem. 

The linesman is fast. Very fast. 

There were jokes. 

Overall, it was a wild night at Villa Park as fans rushed the pitch (twice), once prematurely and once again after the final whistle.

But not everything that came of it was good. 

This is what happens when you beat your biggest rival twice in a four-day span.
