Aston Villa up-and-comer Rushian Hepburn Murphy showed the down side to the ubiquitous skills challenges that footballers appear to be concerning themselves with.
Hepburn-Murphy is shown in the back garden of his house, playing keepy-uppy with the walls before disaster strikes...
Hepburn-Murphy is the latest footballer to show his skills, here are some of our favourite efforts doing the rounds online:

JOHN EGAN
The Sheffield United and Republic of Ireland man has gone for a quintessentially Irish production.
The Cranberries in the background, the hurling skills (which aren't bad at all) and the under-rated surprise at how well he's done at the end of the video.
Egan's late father is Kerry GAA legend John Egan Sr, who won six All-Irelands and nine Munster Championships during his time as a player with the Kingdom. A touch of Gaelic games class is clearly in the blood...

Egan's international teammates James McClean have also got involved in their own #StayAtHomeChallenge over on their Instagram stories.

PETER CROUCH
We all know Crouchy has the platform - and it's just as well he has almost 650,000 views on this one at the time of writing, because he's nailed it.
He looks more comfortable with the toilet roll than he did with a football (of course we're joking).
Top, top attempt here by the big man...
Ok I’m in

FELIPE MELO
The true footballing shithouses wouldn't cope too well with the keepy-uppie challenges, so Palmeiras' former Inter Milan man Felipe Melo has made it his own.
We feel Roy Keane might have had this personal touch if he got involved...
Embaixadinhas? Não! Vamos dar um carrinho no coronavírus. Falando sério, siga à risca as orientações da OMS e dos órgãos de saúde responsáveis. Vamos juntos em uma árdua luta contra a ameaça invisível. #fiqueemcasa #juntoscontraocoronavirus #juntossomosmaisfortes #comovirusnao pic.twitter.com/aD8WymsPzB

BILLY GILMOUR
He's the man everyone interested in the Premier League was speaking about before the games were postponed, and Chelsea's Scottish star has got involved at home too.
The bicycle kick effort is worth it alone...

LIA WAELTI
The Swiss international, who plays for Arsenal in the Women's Super League, has ditched the feet and gone with old-school juggling...
