Being relegated is a low moment in any player's career - but how about suffering the drop twice in one afternoon?
That's what happened to Aston Villa youngster Lewis Kinsella on Saturday.
Not only did the 21-year-old defender's parent club have their demotion from the Premier League confirmed with a 1-0 defeat at Manchester United, but his loan club Kidderminster Harriers were relegated from the National League following a 0-0 draw at Barrow.
Kinsella has made six appearances for Kidderminster and played all 90 minutes against Barrow but, despite the club winning their two previous league games, their 11-year stay in the National League is over.
Kinsella is yet to make his Villa debut but that may well come in the Championship next season.
Here's how he reacted on Twitter:
