Snooker fans and commentators have been left stunned by what many are calling the most impossible shot they’ve ever seen.

During Keryn Wilson’s match against Mike Dunn at the UK Championships on Sunday, Dunn found himself in a very unenviable position.

Trailing 28-40 in the sixth frame, Dunn was trying to hit the final red ball on the table, but it was positioned in an impossible spot behind the pink and brown.

The cue ball was also in a shocking spot right up against the brown, leaving Dunn hopelessly snookered.

Wilson went on to win the frame anyway, taking the match 6-2.
