The Premier League has served up some bafflingly bizarre goals in its 29-year history and Manchester United's David De Gea has become the latest contributor.
The Spanish stopper did quite the opposite for Arsenal's opener in United's thrilling 3-2 Premier League win on Thursday night as he conceded a unique goal in peculiar circumstances.
As the Red Devils cleared an in-swinging corner, De Gea had his ankle trodden on by teammate Fred and immediately sought the sanctuary of the Old Trafford turf.
In the meantime, Mohamed Elneny nodded down to Emile Smith Rowe, who promptly sent a fine left-footed strike passed a curled-up De Gea and into the unguarded net.
After consultation with VAR, the goal was given the green light and Arsenal edged in front, much to the bemusement of the United keeper whose exaggerated "play-acting" was labelled a "disgrace" by fans.
With a fresh new entry added to the Premier League's compilation of strangest ever goals, Daily Star Sport takes a closer look at the other strikes that are keeping De Gea company in the history books.
Mario Balotelli (Manchester City v Norwich, 2011)

You didn't think the ever-controversial Mario Balotelli was going to miss out on this honour, did you?
On this very day in 2011, the divisive Italian netted a quite unique effort as Manchester City ran riot in a 5-1 win over Norwich City at the Etihad.
After Balotelli's initial attempt flicked up into the air off Canaries keeper John Ruddy, City's flamboyant forward nonchalantly shouldered the dropping ball over the goal-line before celebrating with a sulky swagger.
Why always him? Ever the showman was Mario.
Darren Bent (Sunderland v Liverpool, 2009)
What is the strangest goal in the Premier League history? Let us know in the comments section below.
As the football world deliberated over De Gea's gaff on Thursday night, perhaps the most iconic of the Premier League's bizarre goals was once again a hot topic of conversation.
With Sunderland on the attack, an Andy Reid cross evaded the Liverpool defence as it fell to Darren Bent at the edge of the penalty area.
The former England striker's low rifled effort was heading for the safe hands of Reds keeper Pepe Reina before a deflection off none other than a beach ball, which had ironically been bashed into the field of play by a Liverpool fan, sent it squirming into the net.
A befuddled Bent wheeled away in celebration and his balloon-bound effort proved to be the winning goal. A comedy classic.
Divock Origi (Liverpool v Everton, 2018)
One of the more recent entries, Liverpool looked to have been heading for a frustrating goalless draw with Everton in a Merseyside derby of 2018.
In the dying seconds, one last shot at a winner looked to have been lost as Reds centre back Virgil van Dijk turned away in disgust after smashing a sliced strike into orbit amid a chorus of groans from home crowd.
Remarkably, the ball seemed to re-enter the Anfield atmosphere and head straight for Jordan Pickford's goal.
The Everton keeper clattered the crossbar as he flailed for the falling ball, inadvertently clawing it on to the head of the ever-grateful Divock Origi, two yards out.
"Look at Jurgen Klopp!" screamed commentator Jamie Carragher in iconic scenes that saw the jubilant German stormed the pitch and repeatedly punch the air before mobbing his goalkeeper Alisson. Talk about derby drama.
Jason Cundy (Ipswich v Tottenham, 1992)
Perhaps the Premier League's original strange strike in its inaugural season, defender Jason Cundy netted an astonishing effort in Tottenham's 1-1 draw with Ipswich at Portman Road.
As Spurs attacked on the half way line, Cundy slipped as he pounced on a heavy touch and attempted to clear the loose ball to safety.
However, his crisply caught clearance sailed over everyone, including Ipswich's Canadian keeper Craig Forrest, as it found its way into the top corner of the Tractor Boys' net.
A phenomenal fluke, you could say.
Peter Schmeichel (Aston Villa v Liverpool, 2001)
Every goalkeeper makes a clanger or two at some point in their career, even the legendary Peter Schmeichel couldn't avoid them.
As the great Dane looked to launch Aston Villa's latest attack against Liverpool from the corner of his penalty area, he hurled an overarm throw down the middle of the pitch.
Unfortunately for the former Manchester United stopper, the ball cannoned off the back of the oblivious referee and landed at the feet of Liverpool striker Jari Litmanen.
The Finnish forward duly dispatched the ball into the empty Villa net as a dumbfounded Schmeichel, so often renowned for his red nose, was left red-faced on this occasion.
Stan Collymore (Blackburn v Liverpool, 1996)
You can expect the odd bobble on the muddy marshes of Sunday League, but not in the prestigious Premier League, surely?
Unless you were playing at Ewood Park in February 1996, that is.
Liverpool's Stan Collymore charged towards the Blackburn goal before scuffing a speculative strike from 25 yards out and turning away in dismay.
Rovers keeper Tim Flowers bent down to claim the sluggish shot before divine intervention from the muddy goalmouth saw the ball bobble up and bounce over the keeper's shoulder into the net.
Flowers stared at the turf in shock, as a confused Collymore didn't know whether or not to celebrate his embarrassing effort.
Peter Enckelman (Birmingham v Aston Villa, 2002)

What is it with Aston Villa and iconic goalkeeping blunders?
From a throw-in, Olof Mellberg routinely launched the ball back to his unopposed keeper Peter Enckelman to control as Villa looked to springboard a fresh attack after finding themselves trailing in the Second City derby at St Andrews.
However, the Fin between the sticks took his eye off the thrown backpass which then agonisingly rolled under his studs and over the goal-line, much to the shock and delight of the home fans.
The Blues went on to seal a 3-0 win over their fierce rivals while Enckelman will forever be associated with this embarrassing error.
Michail Antonio (West Ham v Southampton, 2015)
The marauding Michael Antonio picked up the ball on the byline at Upton Park and looked dead-set only scoring one of the Premier League's greatest solo strikes.
What followed was clumsy and comical, but a goal all the same. It doesn't matter how they go in, as they say.
West Ham's Antonio weaved his way into the Southampton area, where he found himself surrounded by four Saints defenders, including the mighty figure of Van Dijk.
Perhaps intimidated by the sight of the Dutchman, Antonio's legs buckled before him and he bellyflopped to the turf only to see a defensive clearance cannon off him and loop over a stunned Maarten Stekelenburg.
Youl Mawene (Derby v Southampton, 2001)
Long before the Merseyside madness involving Pickford and Origi, a somewhat similar incident occurred at Pride Park when Derby took on Southampton.
Saints striker James Beattie smashed the ball skyward as he slashed at an attempted clearance after finding himself off-balance.
Opposition keeper Paul Jones tapped his crossbar he was so sure the ball wouldn't be returning while the rest of a packed Pride Park penalty area stared upward in awe as they anxiously waited to see where the ball would land.
On the Southampton goal-line, it turns out, where Derby's Youl Mawene was waiting to scramble the ball into the net and claim the most fortunate of winners. Cue carnage.
Santiago Vergini (Southampton v Sunderland, 2014)
You'll enjoy this one more, Saints fans, I promise.
Morgan Schneiderlin speculatively tried to breach the Sunderland back line as he flicked the ball into the air and attempted to meet his own pass after finding no teammates ahead of him.
As it turns out, he didn't need any, as opposition full-back Santiago Vergini finished off the move for him to start the scoring in an 8-0 thumping for the Saints.
The Black Cats defender connected perfectly to curl a thumping effort into the St Mary's net... it's just a pit for Sunderland fans that it was their own one.
