Clip of the day

He's behind you...

Remember Dion Dublin sneaking up behind Shay Given to score, or Robbie Keane's similar act of cheekiness against Andy Marriott? Here's the Torquay version, courtesy of Kevin Hill...

Feature: Goals direct from corners

10 goals straight from corners courtesy of outrageous bend, atrocious goalkeeping... or both

Select a feature:

1 Alvaro Recoba

The Uruguayan's wand of a left foot beats the Empoli keeper all-ends-up, who can only fumble the ball over his own goal-line after misjudging its flight. Plank!

2 Marcin Burkhardt

Marcin Burkhardt of Legia Warsaw hauls his side level against Górnik Łęczna in spectacular style, fizzing a left-footed in-swinger in off the far-post.

3 Artim Sakiri

The West Brom man dents England's qualification hopes, helping Macedonia to a 2-2 draw at St Mary's. Special mention for Paul Scholes who ducks as the ball comes towards him.

4 Davor Suker

The Real Madrid hitman couldn't quite believe his luck as his swirling set-piece was generously palmed into the back of his own net by the moronic glove-man. Muppet!

5 Artavazd Karamyan

"There was freak gust of wind," claimed the keeper after Artavazd Karamyan's corner-kick flew straight in for Poli Timisoara against Otelul Galati in Romania. Sadly, the net-man's pleas fell on deaf ears, earning him icey stares all round.

6 Roberto Baggio

The Italian maestro judges this near-post effort for Brescia to perfection, finding the gap between the jumping defender covering the near-post and the crossbar. A fluke? This is Baggio, probably not.

7 Marco Bresciano

Full-marks to Parma's Mark Bresciano, whose rasping flag-kick at Reggina soars over everyone and into the far corner. But what the hell was the goalkeeper doing? Really?

8 Aggelakis Giorgos

Aggelakis Giorgos despatches a beauty of a corner for Niki Mesimeriou in Greece. Pace, height, whip and pin-point accuracy. You've still got to question the goalkeeping though. Clown!

9 Roberto Carlos

Not exactly a goal directly from a corner, but the closest to a 'next best thing' you're ever likely to see. Roberto Carlos adds another chapter to his guide to scoring outrageous goals, bending the ball in from practically on the goal-line.

10 Colm Heffernan

Kildare blow a two-goal lead away to Athlone Town in the Irish First Division, with Colm Heffernan beginning the come-back by tonking home a corner in off the far-post...
