Video: Relish the rare case of a team celebrating a goal so much that their opponents score instantly

This doesn't happen nearly often enough

Darragh Murphy

“They” say that 2-0 is the most dangerous lead to try to protect.

Well any score would be difficult to uphold when your team goes so crazily over-the-top in celebration that the opposition has absolutely nothing blocking their path to goal.

We’re all for the loud and passionate expression that comes with finding the net but, just a thought, maybe players should leave it at the one backflip and then return to their rightful position in defence.

This excitable bunch took another tack entirely as, after their impressive gymnastics display, they cross the halfway line to celebrate with their fans only for the quick-thinking of the other team to kick in and enable them to simply guide the ball into an empty net.

It’s times like this that make us think that, if there is a God, then he’s breaking his arse laughing at this foolishness.
