Former Luton player scores wonder goal from inside his own half during an FA Cup tie between Chesham United and Peacehaven & Telscombe.
Jake Peck was the man to break the goalless deadlock with Chesham going on to win their FA Cup first qualifying round clash 5-2.
The 22-year-old picked the ball up from his back-line, beating two opponents, looked up, saw goalkeeper Nathan Stoomberg off his line, then hit from distance, going over the visiting stopper and into the net to put his side in front. Even better when it’s caught on camera…
Anyone else think that this has to be a @EmiratesFACup goal of the round contender?@jakedpeck123 from his own half for our first goal yesterday against @PT_FC #EmiratesFACup #OneClubCheshamUnited https://t.co/GdX9I6Hqqo pic.twitter.com/WayMn0OA5W

Peck’s side, who play in the Southern League Premier Division South, were pegged back soon afterwards, a seven-goal thriller saw Chesham advance through to the next stage.
Some will recall Peck breaking through at Luton, making one first team appearances for the Hatters, that coming in the 3-0 Papa John’s Trophy group stage win over Milton Keynes Dons in October 2018.
He also spent time out on loan spell at Biggleswade Town, before spending the majority of last term at National League South side Concord Rangers, until he was let go in the summer.
The midfielder has already impressed since moving to Chesham, named man of the match on his debut against Hartley Wintney, as his side currently sit third in the table with 13 points from six games played.

“From joining at the age of 6 years old to signing a professional contract and making my debut for the first team from going on tours to Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Sweden, Austria etc to winning the Youth Alliance Cup as a youth team player, I can truly say that @ltfc_official has played a massive part in my life and I will always be grateful & thankful for the experiences I have had during my time at the club.
