Arbroath goalkeeper Ali Adams scored a screamer from 30 yards against Raith Rovers - after being forced to play up front.
Adams was initially named as the substitute goalkeeper for the Scottish Championship side, but found himself getting an outfield shirt on after 56 minutes.
The Scottish side could only name four substitutes on the bench, and had already used three of them due to injuries by the time the second half kicked off.

So when defender Aaron Steele picked up a knock, the losing side had to turn to Adams - with manager Jim McIntyre electing to push him up front (out of the way?)
And when Arbroath went 2-0 down on 61 minutes, you wouldn't have given them too much hope of getting back into the contest.
But, incredibly, Adams managed to find the net on 78 minutes with what is surely one of the most bizarre goals in Scottish football history.
The 32-year-old, who hasn't played a game all season, saw the ball coming towards him with his back to goal around 30 yards out.

And instead of controlling it or trying to pick out a team-mate, Adams just smashed it as hard as he could.
The ball subsequently flew over the head of Raith goalkeeper Maciej Dabrowski, and nearly broke the net on its way in.
In celebration, Adams held both hands to his ears towards the home support - who had presumably given him a fair amount of stick when he came on.
Incredibly, Arbroath went on to find the equaliser, with Leighton McIntosh - an actual striker - scoring from the penalty spot three minutes later.

Given Raith started the day two points clear of Dundee United at the top of the table, it was some performance from ninth-placed Arbroath to nick a point.
And the circumstances behind their heroic draw will no doubt be talked about for many years to come.
