We continue our look at when an outfielder was forced to go between the sticks…
Harry Kane, Tottenham v Asteras Tripoli 2014
Spurs were 5-0 up against Greek side Asteras Tripoli in the Europa League thanks to a hat-trick from Kane and a double from Erik Lamela.
Though in the 87th minute, Hugo Lloris was shown a red card, which led to Kane volunteer to replace him.
He was faced with a free-kick from the edge of the box but an Asteras player failed to connect with the ball which went straight to Kane who somehow managed to drop the ball and fumbled it over the line.
John O’Shea, Tottenham v Man Utd 2007
Just like the games we just mentioned above, Manchester United cruising with being 4-0 up over Tottenham at White Hart Lane, though Edwin Van Der Saar broke his nose and was forced off and United already used all ofof their subs.
Rio Ferdinand wanted to go in goal but John O’Shea prevented him from doing so by volunteering to go in.
O’Shea was doing great, but disgruntled Ferdinand played a woeful back pass towards the outfielder in goal, though it instead went into the path of Robbie Keane, who ended up being stopped by the keeper.

Carl Jenkinson, West Ham v Leicester, 2015
The Hammers were 2-1 down and Adrian was sent up the pitch to attack a corner, he tried an audacious overhead kick on the edge of the box but instead kicked Jamie Vardy in the stomach.
He saw red and Jenkinson went in goal and kept a cleansheet.

Vinnie Jones, Newcastle v Wimbledon 1995
He conceded three in a 6-1 defeat to Newcastle, but it could have been worse were it not for Jones.
