Soccer Goalie Tim Howard Scores Amazing 100-Yard Goal [VIDEO]
During his club team Everton's English Premier League match against Bolton, US National Team goalkeeper Tim Howard did the almost impossible-- he scored while clearing the ball from his own goal area.
But Howard didn't celebrate his unlikely strike, which flew 75 yards in the air and then took a big first bounce over the head of Bolton goalie Ádám Bogdán. And after the game, Howard expressed sympathy for his fellow net-minder:
“I let [Bogdán] know that I was feeling for him,” Howard explained. “It’s not a nice place to be. I’ve been there before, a long, long time ago, and that was why I didn’t celebrate.”
Bogdán shouldn't feel that bad, as he didn't allow in any goals from the players who are supposed to score, and Bolton defeated Everton 2-to-1. Watch only the fourth goalie goal in English Premier League history below.
