Amazing video captures the moment a Sunday League goalkeeper scores a last minute goal to draw level in a local derby - with an outrageous overhead kick.

Dominic Jolly emulated the likes of Peter Schmeichel and Brad Friedel after venturing upfield to join the attack when his side Lea United won a corner.

United, of the Lancashire Sunday League, trailed 3-2 with just seconds to go in their local derby against Ribbleton Warriors.

But Jolly joined the ranks gathered in the Warriors' penalty area as his team mate whipped a corner in.

When a teammate misses a header, Jolly connects with an acrobatic overhead kick that beats his opposite number in goal, sparking scenes of joy on the sidelines.

United's subs and fans stormed the pitch in delight after earning a late point and salvaging their local pride.

In a tweet that has since gone viral, Jolly said: "I scored a 93rd minute equaliser to get us a 3-3 draw today… limbs!! Buzzing!!!"

The 93rd minute strike also got the seal of approval from former England Keeper Ben Foster, who tweeted: "Absolutely class" before adding: "Big GK coming up trumps bagging last min for a draw #gkunion."
