The English U17 goalie failed to keep an eye on his Canadian counterpart Quillan Roberts.
Roberts long range shot beat him resulting in a 2-2 game. The draw gave Canada its first-ever point at the tournament and snapped a 13-game losing streak that goes back to 1987. They had been outscored 45-3 in the tournament until this historic goalkeeper beats goalkeeper goal. Roberts was actually a replacement for Maxime Crepeau who was injured in Sunday's 3-0 loss to Uruguay.
It was also the first goal scored by a goalkeeper in any FIFA 11-a-side finals competition.
