Have to say, that was a pretty damned good cross and header for that goal, for random actors pissing about in robes to get that in a single take is impressive.
I would have thought that Pythagoras in goal should have been the obvious choice. While he was there he could be checking that the square on the hypotenuse of the goal post was equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. ✌️✌️
