<\/p>\nTwo strikers were forced to go in goal as Aldershot\u2019s decision not to have a backup keeper backfired spectacularly.<\/p>\n
With the National League clash goal-less, the Shots had Jordi Van Stappershoef sent off 11 minutes before half-time in their Hampshire derby at Eastleigh. As manager Tommy Widdrington \u2013 the former Southampton midfielder \u2013 had not named a stopper on the bench, Swiss striker Lorent Tolaj was forced to come on and don the gloves.<\/p>\n
Tolaj was soon picking the ball out of his net as Chris Maguire gave Eastleigh the lead before half-time with a free-kick and Enzio Boldewijn doubled the lead against the 10 men on 64 minutes.<\/p>\n
Sensing his team needed a spark, Widdrington then decided to switch goalkeepers with Tolaj being pushed into his more accustomed position and Kwame Thomas, who had started the game up front, being thrown the gloves.<\/p>\n

However, like Tolaj, his first act as a reluctant goalkeeper was to pick the ball out of the back of the net as Boldewijn added his second to make it 3-0, which is how it stayed.<\/p>\n
After the match, TNT Sports commentator Adam Summerton posted on X (formerly Twitter): \u201cNever thought I\u2019d commentate on a game where one team had 3 different goalkeepers [exploding head emoji].\u201d<\/p>\n
