The 26-year-old is currently chasing a place in the League Two play-offs with Mansfield Town but let his frustrations get the better of him after conceding from the penalty spot during a 1-1 draw with Luton on Monday.
Hatters striker Danny Hylton chipped a cheeky penalty past Kean in the 51st minute to equalise for the visitors but came a bit too close for comfort during his celebrations.
As he ran to pick the ball out of the net to restart the game quickly the former Canaries keeper couldn't resist tripping Hylton up as his frustration get the better of him.
Kean was booked for his actions but videos of his childish reaction have been getting a lot of love on social media ever since.

The closest Kean came to a first-team appearance was as an unused substitute in a League Cup game early in the season, having to make do with seven appearances for the under-21s.
