A Kent non-league goalkeeper pulled off an astonishing save - while tangled up in the net.

Bearsted No.1 Frankie Leonard somehow denied a Fisher forward, despite having his left foot trapped at the time.

A goal looked certain as the visiting attacker followed in after the ball came back off the crossbar but talented young keeper Leonard somehow flung himself in the way.

With the Bears keeper stuck and the net hanging in the air, the whistle then went to stop play.

On social media, Leonard posted: “Weirdest save I’ve made ever.”
