Please Respect This Soccer Goal That Was Scored Butt-First
They say you make your own luck. Even when it’s your butt that’s lucky.
Eighteen-year-old English forward Lauren Hemp is not letting the fates take credit for her unlikely goal against Mexico, after video of her falling onto the ball and squeezing it into the goals with her posterior went viral.
A clip of her slow-mo, butt-first triumph has been viewed more than four million times on Twitter, with the caption, "Has a stranger goal been scored?"
But Hemp, who totalled three goals in England’s 6 – 1 victory over Mexico in the under 20s Women’s World Cup group game on Sunday, doesn't want anyone thinking it was a fluke.
Also, just a reminder: She was named Player of the Match. Have some respect.
