Newcastle U21 goalkeeper scores from his own half

Newcastle Under-21 goalkeeper Aidan Harris stunned team-mates when a clearance from well inside his own half sailed past the Fulham keeper during the Magpies' 3-0 win at Whitley Park. Sean Neave and Michael Mill supplied the first and third goals, while Harris's long-range effort provided the standout moment.

Magpies Under-21s interim coach Robbie Stockdale enjoyed the rarity, saying: "It’s just good to spread the goals around the team. As soon as he struck the ball I thought that’s going to be close. I actually played in a game when the Tranmere goalkeeper scored in League One and it’s very rare.

I’ve not seen it since then. He’s obviously telling everyone he meant it and he’s chuffed to bits. It’s just one of those things. He can strike a lovely ball, he had the wind behind him and he caught it flush.
