VIDEO: Goalkeeper's incredible last-gasp goal

As his side trailed 1-0 and had been reduced to 10 men, there was a good deal of pressure on the kick, which was taken a whopping five minutes into injury time at the end of the game. But the 34-year-old coped with it admirably, smashing the ball high into the net before dashing off to celebrate with his colleagues.
