THERE ARE EQUALISERS and then there are “goalkeepers scoring overhead kicks in stoppage time” equalisers.

In Denmark’s second division east on Saturday, Frem trailed Skjold Birkerod 1-0 as the clock ticked into the red. With one last roll of the dice, goalkeeper Jakob Kohler decided to make a nuisance of himself and came up for a 92nd-minute corner.

The ball wasn’t cleared and when it was returned to the back post, Kohler equalised in a frankly unbelievable fashion.
