CHEEKY fans compared a non-league star’s epic time-wasting tactic to Chelsea’s multi-million pound strikeforce after the hilarious clip went viral.
The incident occurred on Tuesday night in the National League as Dagenham & Redbridge took on York City.
The Daggers broke the deadlock on the hour mark courtesy of Ryan Hill.
However, The Minstermen had a shock up their sleeve as they nicked the points at the death.
Lennel John-Lewis levelled the score in the 85th-minute before Dipo Akinyemi pounced in the fourth minute of additional time to claim the points.
As the game reached the eighth minute of time added on, York were awarded a free-kick deep into the Dagenham & Redbridge half.
However, despite having team-mates nearby, the kicker instead opted to punt the ball as far and high out of the stadium as possible in order to waste what little seconds were left.
A clip of it soon started spreading online that was captioned with: “Alexa, define time wasting in football at its finest.”
But as some football supporters revelled in the time-wasting tactic, others jokingly asked if it was a Chelsea striker that had taken it.
The Blues have spent over £1BILLION on new players since new owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake took charge last year.

Raheem Sterling, Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku are just some of the big-money signings in Mauricio Pochettino’s squad.
However, the shot-shy Blues have only mustered a meagre seven goals in seven Premier League matches so far this term.
And rival fans could not wait to stick the boot in as the York time-wasting spread like wildfire.
“Nearly as good as Chelsea’s shooting,” commented one.
While another echoed that thought by writing: “Looks like Chelsea forwards shooting.”
