Minnesota United have produced a cracking little video to explain just why their goalkeeper, Sammy Ndjock, chucked the ball directly into his own net in a pre-season friendly against Bournemouth in midweek.
It transpires that, as per the video, the Cameroonian ‘keeper was innocently preparing himself a jam sandwich in the minutes leading up to kick-off.
Fatefully, he ended up getting sticky preserve all over his gloves, etc, etc…
Blame it on the jelly indeed.
