Seeing a goalkeeper score is a rare sight to behold. In fact, it’s so rare that only 6 goalkeepers have ever scored in a Premier League match over a 30 year period. These heroics from the men between the sticks have come as either acts of desperation or sheer flukes but each defining moment has their own story to tell. So, who are the six goalkeepers who have scored Premier League goals?<\/p>\n

  1. Peter Schmeichel \u2013 2001 <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A trendsetter for many as a regular goalkeeper, Peter Schmeichel netted yet another first when he became the first goalie to score in the Premier League. The Dane\u2019s moment came in 2001 when he was playing for Aston Villa in a match against Everton. Trailing 3-1 in stoppage time, Schmeichel came forward and connected beautifully to a Steve Staunton corner with a textbook volley to make it 2-3.<\/p>\n

    It came a little too late to prevent Everton from winning the match but the iconic image was already set in stone. It came in a remarkable career where the Danish goalkeeping legend scored 10 goals altogether including the league goal for Villa, a goal for Manchester United in the UEFA Cup and even once for Denmark in a 2000 friendly against Belgium. However, it is his Villa goal that gains him entry to our list of goalkeepers who have scored Premier League goals.<\/p>\n
