Substitute Arbroath goalkeeper comes on, scores 35-yard screamer،
Arbroath were forced to call on replacement goalkeeper Ali Adams after naming just four outfield players on the bench for their Scottish Championship clash against Raith Rovers on Saturday, only for Adams to score an outstanding 35-yard strike.
Arbroath trailed 1-0 early in the second half when manager Jim McIntyre, having used three previous substitutes, was forced to introduce Adams after defender Aaron Steele suffered an injury.

The visitors scored another goal around the hour mark, but in the 76th minute Adams collected the bouncing ball with his back to goal before turning and scoring with a thunderous effort.
The goal sparked an improbable comeback, completed when Leighton McIntosh equalized from the penalty spot five minutes later.
The Scottish east coast club are ninth in the championship, three points ahead of bottom club Queen's Park.
