There are last minute wonder goals and then there’s this.
We’ve seen goalkeepers come up for corners at the death and manage to stick a head or a leg on the ball to notch a last gasp goal.
Blackburn Rovers ‘keeper Brad Friedel did it against Charlton with a cheeky left-footed strike- and we all remember Peter Schmeichel’s overhead kick against Wimbledon which was chalked offside.
But one stopper has eclipsed every single one of these with a last minute goal that will be pretty hard to top.
With the clock on 90 minutes, Hemel Hemstead Town keeper Jamie Butler booted to ball out of his hands from inside his own box with his side trailing 2-1 against Sutton United.
The last-ditch, hopeful ball takes an awkward bounce and the wind looks like it catches it, sending it looping over the opposition keeper into the top left corner.
Whether it’s the Premier League or the Vanarama National League South, there will be few sweeter last minute goals scored than Butler’s.
Take a bow.
