It was an all-or-nothing moment. Goalkeeper versus striker from 12 yards, a battle of wills. The striker stepped forward, heart pounding, an blasted a penalty against the crossbar. The goalkeeper streaked away in celebration, only to quickly realise he had made a mistake...
The ball crashed back off the upright and span backwards into the net, leaving the striker relieved and the goalkeeper red-faced.
A valuable lesson learnt for both parties and a display of physics that would even leave the brainiest boffin scratching his head.
