The referee should of stopped play to remove it, but sunderland deserved the win anyway.

to be fair if i had a ball on the edge of my six yard box i would kick it away it wasn't like it was hit in just before they crossed the ball. I realize the ref should have stopped the game but it doesn't exactly happen often and he was watching play undoubtably.

When i play hockey i make sure my D is clear of things that could change the path of the ball

The ball rolled onto the pitch whilst Reina was concentrating on the actual ball on the pitch like a profesional keeper does... Theres no way he would have noticed the beach ball until it rolled infront of him, which was when Bent recieved the ball and took the shot...

Actually Reina had picked the ball up, put it in his net and began playing. Then some freak wind blew the ball into his 6 yard box and the rest is history.
