WATCH: As goalkeeping howlers go, we’re confident this is pretty unbeatable

How? Just HOW?

This man gets paid to play football.

We hate being too harsh on players – especially goalkeepers – for making mistakes but this almost beggars belief.

To lose 7-0 is embarrassing enough but watching this goal go in would have been a right kick in the teeth.

Fabio Cannavaro’s Al-Nassr thrashed Al-Draih on Wednesday and to say that the Al-Draih goalkeeper had a nightmare would be an understatement.

Under no pressure with the ball trickling comfortably to his feet, the stopper did the exact opposite of goalkeeping as he “controlled” the ball with his right foot before bizarrely back-heeling it into his own net as he stumbled.

Wow!
