This goal makes noted poacher Gary Lineker look like a long-range specialist.
At first glance it looks like a classy back-post finish from former Premier League star Clint Dempsey has earned the Seattle Sounders a last-gasp MLS victory.
But take a closer look and you’ll see that it’s Dempsey’s team-mate Chad Barrett, stood practically on the goal-line, who gets the final touch.
ICYMI: Chad Barrett FTW in the 91st minute. #SEAvNYhttps://t.co/Uygp7sAxAg

With just 10 goals in the three seasons before this one, journeyman striker Barrett may have decided he’ll take what he can get.
At least he was onside, meaning the goal – and the win over the New York Red Bulls – stood.
Dempsey doesn’t look like the sort of man you want to get on the wrong side of.
Stealing a team-mate’s goal can be risky business, just ask Manchester United winger Nani…
