Shrinking goals!

A Danish goalkeeper could get the book kicked at him after being found to have tried to reduce the size of his goal in a recent match.

Kim Christensen, goalkeeper for IFK Goteborg, was discovered to have tried to kick the posts inward to try and make the goals smaller in a recent first division game in Sweden.

His actions were caught on camera before the game against Orebro. He was using his feet to move the bottom of each post slightly inwards.

Nevertheless, it was 20 minutes into the game before referee Stefan Johannesson spotted the shrinking goal and moved the posts back into their correct position.

Goalkeeper Christensen later admitted that it was not the first time he had done this and had tried the same thing before several other games.

The Swedish FA will investigate what happened. Disciplinary chief Kheneth Tallinger said: "I have never heard anything like this before. It's unique."

The game ended 0-0. IFK Goteborg are top of the Swedish league with just a few games of the season left.
