Fans stunned after seeing Crawley goalkeeper's touch map in League Two play-off semi-final vs MK Dons

Fans were stunned after seeing the Crawley goalkeeper’s touch map in the League Two play-off semi-final versus MK Dons.

Crawley’s first-ever EFl play-off match saw them dispatch MK Dons 3-0, with the goals coming courtesy of Liam Kelly, Jay Williams and Ronan Darcy.

But much of the talk on social media after the game was centred around Crawley goalkeeper Corey Addai.

The 26-year-old’s touch-map has gone viral, with it resembling that of a right-back rather than a shot-stopper.

The pick of Addai’s touches came when Kelly forced his goalkeeper to chase down a wayward pass that appeared to be looping into the Crawley net.

Addai dashed back to his goal line, cooly hooked they ball away from danger with his right foot and skipped past an on-rushing MK Dons player.

"Corey Addai just did maybe the coolest thing I’ve ever seen on a football pitch," one fan wrote on X.

"Calm as you like from Corey Addai," another said.

A third, referring to the Crawley goalkeeper playing so high up the pitch, added: "This goalkeeper is so entertaining, spends more time as a RB (right-back) than in goal."

Crawley take their commanding lead into Saturday's second leg at Stadium MK.

Red Devils manager Scott Lindsey told Sky Sports: "It's two halves of football over 90 minutes, rather than two lots of 45 minutes. We felt we wanted to attack this game aggressively, which we did.

"I'm really pleased with the goals. The first goal was a really good team goal where we played a really good passage of play; the second was a set piece, which we work really hard on, and the third goal was another passage of play where we played some real intricate passes around the edge of the box before Darcy got in. I'm pleased with the goals and the way we played as well.

"I'll go away tomorrow, watch the game back and see how the land lies with what we're going to do."
