Six Goalkeepers Who Scored in the Premier League

Goalkeepers usually focus on stopping goals, but six have made history by scoring in the Premier League. The official Premier League platform recently shared a video highlighting these unique players.

Peter Schmeichel was the first goalkeeper to score in the Premier League. He netted a goal for Aston Villa against Everton in 2001, volleying in from a corner.

Brad Friedel followed him, scoring for Blackburn Rovers against Charlton Athletic in 2004. His goal was a late equalizer from close range.

In 2007, Paul Robinson scored a remarkable long-range free-kick for Tottenham Hotspur against Watford. The ball bounced over the opposing goalkeeper and into the net.

Tim Howard made headlines in 2012 when he scored from his own half while playing for Everton against Bolton Wanderers. His shot was aided by the wind and sailed over the Bolton goalkeeper.

Asmir Begović set a record in 2013 by scoring just 13 seconds into a match for Stoke City against Southampton. His long shot traveled the entire length of the pitch.

Lastly, Alisson Becker of Liverpool scored a crucial goal in 2021, heading in a last-minute winner against West Bromwich Albion. This goal helped Liverpool in their quest for Champions League qualification.

These six goalkeepers have achieved a rare feat in Premier League history, showcasing their unique skills beyond just stopping goals.
