Striker goes in goal, saves two penalties and scores winning spot-kick
It was all in a night's work for Corby Town's James Harrison. Forced into goal after their keeper was sent off during the FA Youth Cup tie against Dagenham & Redbridge, the striker saved two penalties in a shootout, before putting away the non-league side's winning spot-kick. Harrison started the game in his usual position up front but was given the gloves when Daniel Wallace, who had already saved a penalty himself, was sent off in extra time for handling outside the area. Cue Harrison's heroics. The youngster survived the remaining 17 minutes to ensure the score remained level at 2-2. He then denied Dagenham's Ellis Sands and Liam Foster from the spot, before dispatching what turned out to be the decisive penalty in a 3-2 shootout win. And what of the striker-turned-goalkeeper-turned-striker's reward for his endeavours? A trip to Manchester City in the third round.
