CRAWLEY goalkeeper Corey Addai scored the “most unlikely embarrassing goal ever” in his side’s win over Bradford.

The League Two side looked on course for defeat after Addai’s own goal gave the Bantams the lead at Valley Parade.

He had initially appeared to have pulled off a heroic stop after saving Andy Cook’s second half penalty.

However, the ball squirmed under the goalkeeper and was rolling towards the goal as he reached back to collect it.

Instead of stopping the ball, though, Addai could only punch it over the line.

His mishap gave the hosts a 2-1 lead, completing a turnaround for Bradford.

Their fans were left shocked by the incident on social media, with one simply writing: “Own goal?!”

Another added: “We have scored two of the most unlikely embarrassing goals I’ve ever seen.”

Liam Ridehalgh had earlier cancelled out Danilo Orsi’s opening goal to level the scores.

Fortunately for Addai, late drama spared his blushes as Adam Campbell equalised five minutes from time.

Orsi and Klaidi Lolos then both scored deep into stoppage time to seal a 4-2 victory for the visitors.

The result lifts Scott Lindsey’s side up to ninth and leaves them outside the play-off places on goal difference alone.

Meanwhile, Bradford are 14th after 26 matches, having been set to climb into the top half if they had held onto their lead.
