Poor Mickey van der Hart. The 20-year-old Go Ahead Eagles goalkeeper made one of the worst errors in recent memory to hand title-chasing Ajax a crucial win.
What makes his error even worse was that it came in the 87th minute with the game locked at 1-1. The Eagles are just five points ahead of NAC Breda in the Eredivisie relegation play-off spot, while Ajax are second in the league.
What made his even, even worse, is that Van der Hart is currently on loan at Go Ahead Eagles - from Ajax. Conspiracy theorists had a field day.
Unlike in the Premier League where players are not allowed to play against their parent clubs, no such rule exists in the Eredivisie.
Poor guy.
