Hilarious footage as unlikely trio attempt one of football's toughest skill tests
ARSENAL stars Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Rob Holding teamed up with cheeky chappy Jimmy Bullard to take on Soccer AM’s three-touch challenge.
And the results were, as expected, rather hilarious.
The test involves the three keeping in the ball in the air and reducing their number of touches each time they make a pass before trying to score with a volley.

A piece of cake for a couple of pros and an ex-Premier League midfielder? Not quite.
The first attempt goes well until Chamberlain’s pass to Bullard goes wayward.
And the former Hull star gets flummoxed again by a piece of sublime skill from the Arsenal winger.
But with everything riding on the final effort, the trio get their heads down and pull off one of football’s most difficult tests with a bit of class as Bullard completes the move to drill home.
The Arsenal pair looked to be in good spirits but might be felling a bit down today after crashing out of the EFL Cup in the quarter-final after a 2-0 home defeat to Southampton on Wednesday night.
Attention for the Gunners now turns to a trip to West Ham on Saturday evening, where a win could propel them back into title contention.
Chamberlain, 23, is pushing to be included after starting their last Premier League game against Bournemouth.
Youngster Holding, 21, has not featured in the top flight since the end of August.
