Well, you don't see that every day.

Charlton Athletic's youth goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov has written himself a place in history with a goal right out of the top-drawer.

The youth Addicks goalkeeper scored for his side at the weekend, as Charlton's under-18 squad defeated their Coventry City counterparts in a closely fought 2-1 victory.

A big punt from the Bulgarian teenager flew into the Sky Blues ' box, before lobbing his opposite number and nestling in the back of the net.

Goalkeepers scoring in open play is pretty rare, but even the few instances of it happening are usually down to a set-piece or scoring from a corner kick.

Mitov's goal follows the likes of Premier League shot stoppers Paul Robinson, Asmir Begovic and Tim Howard, who have all managed to score from well within their own half.

The most famous instance in Coventry City history, of course, was Steve Ogrizovic's goal straight from his own area in a Division One clash with Sheffield Wednesday back in October 1986.

A member of Charlton Athletic's media team has confirmed that the distance Mitov scored from is yet to be verified, but they are hopeful that the number will eclipse that of Asmir Begovic's for Stoke City, which found the Potters' goalkeeper set a new world record.
