Watch: Cork City's Kieran Sadlier scores an outrageous goal from his own box

Bizarre, but brilliant.

A CLEARANCE OR deliberate? Either way, Kieran Sadlier sealed Cork Cityโ€™s victory over St Patrickโ€™s Athletic on Friday night with an outrageous goal from his own box, after the hosts had pushed everyone forward looking for a late equaliser.

The Ireland U21 international had given the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division champions the lead earlier in the night at Richmond Park, before Conan Byrne struck back for Patโ€™s on the hour mark.

City hit the front again 10 minutes later when Jimmy Keohane curled an effort past Tyson Farago in the Patโ€™s goal, and when the โ€˜keeper then ventured forward deep into stoppage time, Sadlier ensured all three points for the visitors with a brilliant, if not, bizarre, strike.

The 23-year-old had been back on defensive duty from the Patโ€™s corner when the ball broke to him on the edge of the box and, without looking up, cleared it up-field and remarkably into the vacant goal at the other end.

Sadlier was again instrumental in his sideโ€™s victory as he netted his seventh and eighth Premier Division goals of the campaign, with John Caulfieldโ€™s men maintaining the pressure on leaders Dundalk.

    This is obviously a joke I mean itโ€™s not as if it came from a guy who forgot he left his car at the airport!
