In what could be an ill-timed camera moment, Joe Hart was spotted on the bench giggling while substitute goalie Willy Caballero was wincing in pain as Manchester City took on West Ham at Etihad Stadium.
The game, which saw Man City head to the top of the table after a 3-1 victory, had eagle-eyed viewers wondering what Hart was laughing about while looking down at the cup he was holding…

People were asking one important question:
Why is Joe Hart laughing?

Some put it down to poor camera timing:

Joe Hart seems to be laughing on the bench while Caballero winces in pain from that recent challenge? Poor camera timing? Probably. #MCFC

But some were convinced it had something to do with Caballero’s injury:

Although someone had an alternate explanation:
@woyonp Don't think that's what he was laughing at. He was chatting with a guy on the bench.

To be honest, we can’t really be sure what made Hart laugh in that very moment but there’s a possibility it could have been nothing to do with what was happening on the pitch.
