VIDEO: Soccer Saturday lads can’t believe the Millwall goalkeeper’s amazing improvisation

On me 'ead

What a save.

Millwall goalkeeper Jordan Archer pulled off an outstanding save with his head on Saturday, backtracking and diving backwards to prevent the ball from lobbing over him.

No, he couldn’t use his hands. He was making the most of a dreadful situation the stopper was forced into by his own team mate Mark Beevers.

The ‘keeper prevented fouling the ball with a back-pass by using his head, and he also prevented a goal when the defender decided to hoist one over him under seemingly no pressure.

Some of the Millwall supporters looked to be engaged in a bit of crowd trouble with the police after the game but they would’ve appreciated Archer’s heroics against Peterborough, especially considering it was goalless at the time and they went on to win 3-0.

The Soccer Saturday boys appreciated it anyway.
