With a rare defeat looming for the 1997 Manchester United team, Peter Schmeichel came sprinting up the field for a last minute corner. Having scored against Rotor Volgograd he once again came into the box in the hope of rescuing the FA Cup 4th round replay. With the ball coming towards him and facing the other way from the goal he improvised, hitting a sweet overhead kick into the bottom corner…only to be (rightly) called offside. Unfortunately for him what would have been one of the greatest goals by a keeper.

Amazing
He didn't score it was offside.
This doesn't get the respect it deserves. Doesn't matter If it's offside. But took that like a champ
Both are great goalkeepers Peter and Kasper , cant see often that kind of Father and Son 🙌
I think United should bring Schmeichel out of retirement and replace de Gea. Although I think signing Dennis Irwin should be the primary target come next transfer window.
Always liked that purple gk kit, my cousin had it back in the day
Can confirm was filmed on a potato
Schmeichel always a threat/
lol, he didn't score, it was offsides! nice finish though, for sure.
I was at this game at Selhurst..it was brilliant. Wimbledon went through though.
The clickbait is unreal
Offiside VAR
Best keeper I've ever seen with out a double
It hit of his head
great goal ,
O desimpedidos me fez procurar pra saber se era verdade mesmo kkkkk
Was sitting at the far end opposite this goal, as a United supporter amongst a SEA of Don's supporters.
Me and my friend went absolutely nuts when this happened, had no sense it was off side of course…..and then when it was ruled out the entire stand was pointing and screaming all kinds of shit at us. Ha ha.
Deservedly so of course……but man, what a moment, as I swear we were the only United fans in that entire stand.
His influence is very apparent in the modern game: no goalkeepers were doing the 'starfish' spread, one-on-one, before Schmeichel (he brought it from keeping goal in the sport of handball, when he was younger).
Now, it's standard.
how does he get caught offside, why don't professional footballers know the offside rule, lol. Don't stand there ffs.
Poly legends know that it’s in 🤫
Schmeichel was my idol as a child!
EDIT: Now hopefully spelled right 😮
If I had a £1 for every pixel in this vid .. I’d have about ..£5
