Goalkeeper goals are relatively uncommon in football. Goalkeepers spend the majority of a game in their own side's penalty area, a designated area surrounding the goal they are defending where they can control the ball. A goalkeeper rarely moves this far out and joins an offensive because it exposes the defense to long-range attacks until the goalkeeper can return to protect it.The most productive goal scorers are goalkeepers who take penalties or free kicks. Other occasions when goalkeepers score include set pieces, in which a keeper enters an attack while a team is pursuing a goal to avoid a loss, or goal kicks or other routine clearances that travel the length of the field into the opposing goal. These types of events are relatively rare, and when they do occur, they are usually regarded as an accident or a lucky break rather than the desired outcome.
Despite the fact that it is difficult for goalkeepers to score goals from open play, it is not impossible, as some goalkeepers have done so for their respective clubs.
1. Asmir Begovic
Asmir Begovic is currently Everton's backup goalkeeper to Jordan Pickford, but the Bosnian international has etched his name in Premier League history by being one of the goalkeepers who has scored an incredible goal in the league.While still playing for Stoke City, Asmir Begovic scored an incredible goal from his own post less than 30 seconds into the game, which went down in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest goal scored in the history of the competition, measuring 91.9 meters.
2. Alisson Becker
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker is the most recent and second current Premier League goalkeeper to score in the league.
On May 16, 2021, the Brazilian international came up to challenge for a Liverpool corner-kick in almost the final minute of the game against West bring, which he connected perfectly with Arnold cross to score a die minute winner for Liverpool.
This victory gave Liverpool a stronger grip on the top four positions, which was a joy for the entire team after the final whistle.
