WATCH: Falcao Scores After Comically Bizarre Goalkeeper Error

Despite the heartbreak that is surely endured by goalkeepers when they suffer the indignity of committing an absolute howler, you can't help but laugh at the poor buggers when it happens.

So spare a thought and also, laugh absolutely loads at Radamel Falcao's goal for Monaco against Nancy to put the Monte Carlo side into the lead during tonight's French League Cup semi-final.

This goalkeeper should start studying Gianluigi Donnarumma's training regime...

A lofted ball into the box looked more like a hopeful punt more than anything as it bounced harmlessly into the Nancy area. However, Nancy's goalkeeper treated the ball like a bar of soap in the shower and allowed it to slip through his fingers, allowing the Colombian striker, who could scarcely believe his luck, to nod into an empty net.

Don't worry mate, we feel for you, but we're also deciding that this is definitely our new pick for goal of the season. Sorry.
