Keeper makes wonder save... from keeper!

FC Dordrecht goalkeeper Filip Kurto went up for a corner in the dying seconds against Feyenoord - and forced his opposite number into a wonder save!

FC Dordrecht trailing 2-1 at home to Feyenoord but with less than a minute of added time remaining, the hosts earned a corner.

Having conceded just a minute earlier, the set-piece was almost certain to be Dordrecht's last chance to salvage a much needed point in their battle to beat the drop.

So, sensing an opportunity to become the unlikely hero, goalkeeper Filip Kurto made his way into the Feyenoord penalty area.

The ball in was a good one and Kurto timed his jump to perfection before thumping a header goalwards. It seemed destined for the net and Kenneth Vermeer's dive looked more in hope than expectation.

However, the Dutch international showed remarkable reflexes to stretch and tip the ball away from the top corner and round the post as the away side held on to remain third in the table.
