Scoring a goal is the dream of every footballer, but for goalkeepers, finding the back of the net is an exceptionally rare achievement.
Since the Premier League was founded in 1992, only six goalkeepers have managed to score, with each goal earning a unique place in English football history.
The first goalkeeper to achieve the feat was Peter Schmeichel, who scored for Aston Villa against Everton in October 2001. Although his side lost 3-2, the Danish legend became the first goalkeeper to score in the competition.
Brad Friedel joined the exclusive list in February 2004 when he found the net for Blackburn Rovers against Charlton Athletic. However, his late goal came in a losing effort as Blackburn were beaten 3-2.
Three years later, Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Paul Robinson scored one of the most unusual goals in Premier League history. His long free-kick bounced over Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster and into the net, securing his place in the record books.
