Goalkeeper goals: Six of the most memorable after Anatoliy Trubin scores for Benfica

In May 1999, Jimmy Glass scored an injury-time goal that kept Carlisle United in the Football League.

Sent forward for a corner, the Carlisle goalkeeper scored with virtually the last kick of the game to snatch victory and send Scarborough down.

In 2004 Blackburn Rovers’ Brad Friedel became only the second keeper in Premier League history to get on the scoresheet.

The American equalised in the 90th minute at Charlton, but then conceded a dramatic winner moments later.

Paraguayan Jose Luis Chilavert scored 67 goals in his career, including 14 free-kicks.

He became the first keeper to score a hat-trick during Velez Sarsfield’s 6-1 win against Ferro Carril Oeste in Argentina’s Argentine Primera Division in 1999.

But Chilavert’s goal tally is well short of Brazilian Rogerio Ceni, who spent 22 years with Sao Paulo and scored 129 goals in his career.

Let us know if we have missed any other notable goalkeeper goals.
