‘Elderly’ Frank Lampard and Andrea Pirlo brilliantly trolled by New York Red Bulls banner

Well trolled guys, well trolled...

Ben Kenyon

Friendly rivalry – it’s what a good derby game is all about.

New York City and New York Red Bulls fans may have clashed in the streets in ugly scenes before Sunday’s game, but during the hotly-contested MLS match we saw terrace humour at its finest.

Frank Lampard started his first game alongside fellow veteran Andrea Pirlo in midfield, and the duo’s combined age of 73 was not lost on Red Bulls fans.

How do you troll your opponents’ most high-profile players? Use the oldest trick in the book, of course.

It even gives this fantastic MLS sign a run for its money.

Yes, Pirlo and Lampard are pretty long in the tooth, but it’s not quite got to this stage yet…
