Newport County keeper Tom King scores from goal kick in draw with Cheltenham


Watch as Newport County goalkeeper Tom King scored directly from a goal kick against Cheltenham in Sky Bet League Two.

King gave his side the lead in their promotion clash against Cheltenham Town at Whaddon Road.

In what can only be described as bizarre circumstances, the Newport keeper's wind-assisted kick bounced on the edge of the Cheltenham box before looping over a helpless Josh Griffiths in the Robins goal.

At least, to some extent, King's counterpart's blushes were saved by Matty Blair's equaliser late in the first half, which ensured the match finished 1-1.
