Soccer star gets pantsed but still manages shot at goal in his underwear (VIDEO)

A Danish soccer star didn't let something as embarrassing as a pantsing keep him from his appointed goals —or attempt at one.

As Aston Villa's Nicklas Helenius raced down the pitch in the Capital One Cup match-up against Tottenham Tuesday, he was chased down by Jan Vertonghen. When the Villa striker raced into the penalty area, Vertonghen took drastic action and grabbed the shorts of Helenius and yanked them down.

Helenius was slowed down by Vertoghen's desperate move but, with his uniform shorts strung around his knees, the striker kept going for the score.

By the time Helenius fired his shot over the net, he was showing off a pair of tighty-whities to the fans inside Villa Park.

Incredibly, referee Jon Moss refused to point to the penalty spot  — leaving Villa searching for a goal... and red-faced Helenius pulling up his shorts.

Villa were further embarrassed by Tottenham in more ways than one as they handed them a 4-0 blanking in front of their own fans.

England soccer star Kyle Walker caught inhaling 'hippy crack' from balloon at nightclub: Report

England soccer star Kyle Walker has been photographed appearing to inhale "hippy crack" from a balloon while partying with friends inside a hometown nightclub.

The 23-year-old right-back, who played for England against Moldova in Friday's World Cup qualifier, allegedly sucked in the potentially deadly nitrous oxide several times during a night out in Sheffield last June, the Sunday Mirror reported.

The controversial laughing gas, which is portioned into balloons and sold for as little as $3, is a legal but dangerous high and has effects likened to those of crack cocaine or heroin after taking a huff.

It has been known to cause users suffocation, seizures, strokes, blackouts, chronic depression and strain on the heart.  The drug is not as prevalent in US clubs as it is across the pond.

The Sunday Mirror said that Walker, who plays for Tottenham, allegedly inhaled a number of times from the balloon while out with friends on June 1. He was recovering from an injury that forced him to sit out England's friendly double-header with the Republic of Ireland and Brazil.

Walker, the Player of the Year last season, is expected to line-up against for England in Ukraine on Tuesday in a must-win World Cup qualifier.

"More and more canisters of laughing gas started appearing," said an eyewitness at the club.

"Kyle and his pals were getting well carried away with them. He didn't mind one bit that people were taking pictures."

"Hippy crack" first became popular during the 1960s, but has now become a popular legal high in British nightclubs, where it is sold for a few bucks.

The FA have declined to comment.
