Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has claimed his side's disastrous defending against Swansea last week was because they were doing the 'Mannequin Challenge'.
Palace defenders appeared to be standing around rooted to the spot during several of Swansea's goals during the 5-4 defeat. However, Pardew explained that they were merely copying the popular viral internet trend.
"I really don't see what all the fuss is about - we were merely entering into the spirit of things. If Man City had done it, you'd all be calling Guardiola a genius."
Pardew recently made the news after calling for Palace's sash to be reintegrated into their kit design; he claims the club derives power from its sash.
