Is this the most bizarre goal ever scored in the FA Cup?

Rymans League side Thamesmead Town made history on Satuday as they netted the first and second goals ever to have been scored off the British mainland in the FA Cup.

The Kent-based club travelled to the Channel Islands to play Guernsey in the preliminary round of the cup and earned their own little place in the history books after racing to a 2-0 lead before the break.

However, despite the significance of the match, fans will be far more likely to remember the game for what might possibly be one of the most bizarre, freak goals seen in the FA Cup competition.

Leading by just the one goal midway through the first half, Thamesmead’s Scott Kinch fancied his luck with an audacious strike 40 yards out from goal.

Looking like it was destined for the sea, the ball got caught up in an almighty gust of wind as it soared high above the bar before looping back round, clipping the cross crossbar and falling at the feet of Jack Mahoney in front of goal.

With Mother Nature to thank, Mahoney pounced on the shot/cross/mishit to fire the ball into the back of the net to take a 2-0 lead.

The game eventually ended in a 2-2 draw, forcing a replay at Thamesmead’s home ground next Tuesday.
