Michael Kayode's long throw has become something of a footballing landmark over recent months, but the Brentford defender might rarely have felt nerves or pressure quite like a throw-in launched at an empty net at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Kayode, 21, used the novelty of his long throw to reveal the sex of his baby, while his partner watched on.
As the ball hits the net, fireworks blast from the crossbar, while pink-coloured smoke signifies a baby girl is on her way.
Kayode posted the video on Instagram and wrote: "We can't wait to see you! It's a dream come true to have been able to make all this happen in a stadium and with a club that mean so much to me!"
Vitaly Janelt replied the baby would be the "next throw-in generation", while Brentford and a host of the club's players wished the full-back and his partner congratulations.
If the 2025-26 season brought direct football back into fashion, Kayode's video and the baby girl who follows may just prove to be landmark moments in this long throw era.
