VINE: American student scores incredible front-flip throw in from 45 yards

Keeper, keeper, keeper...

Neil Treacy

This kid may be getting a call from Tony Pulis and West Brom in the next few days.

On the full chart of novelty football events, a front flip throw-in and a throw-in finding it’s way to the net are both well up the list.

Combine the two, and you have absolute mayhem.

This American high-school launched a bomb of a front-flip throw in to his opponents’ box from fully 45 yards (as the American football markings show), the ball making it’s way into the back of the net to give his side one of the most bizarre goals we’ve ever seen.

And despite the fact that goals can’t be scored directly from a throw-in, the poor keeper flapped and made contact with the ball, meaning that the incredible score stood.

Even Rory Delap must be impressed by this.
