ILLAN MESLIER has been blasted for the “worst goalkeeping error ever” – and it was a costly- last-gasp howler.
The Frenchman somehow fumbled a dismal 97th-minute cross into the net as Championship leaders Sunderland nicked a 2-2 draw.
Black Cats sub Alan Browne, who delivered the centre, was so surprised he revealed afterwards he was expecting a pasting from his team-mates – only for Meslier’s horrific intervention to rescue him.
Browne told Sky Sports: “I thought the boys would be fuming but the keeper chucked it in the net.
I am almost embarrassed but I’ll still claim it.
“In the end we got the lucky break, whether we deserved it or not I am not sure. “
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
