Mark Travers: Bournemouth goalkeeper scores in stoppage time and saves penalty in cup final shootout

Goalkeepers scoring goals is not that rare an event in football. But goalkeepers scoring stoppage-time equalisers to take a cup final to penalties before saving a spot kick in the shootout are.

Step forward Bournemouth's Mark Travers, the most senior member of the club's under-21s side that took on Eastleigh in the Hampshire Senior Cup final on Tuesday.

The Republic of Ireland international, 21, had an eventful evening in a match that finished 2-2 after 90 minutes before the Cherries won 5-3 on penalties.

He saved a first-half penalty, scored an injury-time equaliser and then saved the first Eastleigh penalty in the shootout.
