Goalkeeper Jesse Joronen scores freak long-range goal for Stevenage from just outside his own penalty box

The bizarre goal put the League Two side ahead against Wycombe Wanderers

Jesse Joronen goes to strike the ball

Goalkeeper Jesse Joronen scored a bizarre goal for Stevenage on Saturday, finding the net with a long punt up field from just outside his own box.

The on-loan Fulham youngster was simply clearing the ball but the bounce was completely misjudged by opposite number Matt Ingram and went in to put his current side ahead.

The 22-year-old's goal, which got his side on their way to a 2-1 win, will have been appreciated by Stevenage manager Teddy Sheringham. Heading into the game the former Manchester United and Tottenham striker had seen his side fail to win the previous seven matches.

Joronen, who is a Finland international, became the first goalkeeper to score in the top four tiers of English football since Asmir Begovic netted for Stoke City in November 2013.

After the match, Stevenage jokingly tweeted: "Thanks for your superb support on another memorable afternoon at The Lamex. Striker scores. Goalkeeper scores. Standard day at the office."

Joronen added: "What a great win!!! Boys defended brilliantly and the fans were unreal!!! Thanks for the messages everyone, good day all over!"
